About this product

Product Information

As corporations gain more and more power in our political, social, and cultural worlds, our freedom to choose has taken on new meaning. Upset with your local big box store? Vote with your feet! Object to unfair hiring practices at your neighbourhood fast food restaurant? Vote with your feet! Want to protest the opening of that new multinational coffeeshop across the street from the mom-and-pop java joint? Vote with your feet! But what if it's not that simple? But what are the implications of our fervent belief in the power of choice? Today, individual choice is the lynchpin of a neoconservative corporate ideology Slee calls MarketThink. Individual choice, he argues, is not inherently bad--but is it the societal fix-all that our corporations and governments claim it is? A spirited treatise, this timely, provocative book makes you think about your choices in new ways.
