Welcome to Litsy!

With the Citizens United decision (which is even hinkier than I realized) as a touchstone, We The Corporations looks at the gradual increase in rights given to companies in the US by the Supreme Court (as said rights are not explicitly given by the Constitution). Interesting and informative, though admittedly a bit dry in places. The audio reader does a great job of keeping this one interesting.

This starts much further back then I would have imagined even referencing ancient Rome multiple times
With some heavy leagalize, but easily followed - the result of actions laid out. The author does well at leaving himself out of the story. leading to straight telling of the story w/o much emotion. Giving an unbiased view at times I found myself agreeing to some of the rights corp had won making the book and the history & any argument much richer

I have gotten out of this habit but going to be better at it to push myself to read more.
