Críticas:
"Bea Edwards has written a vital book about the ridiculously cozy relationship between corporate wealth and government power and how it only seems to be getting worse. It's up to the rest of us now to do something about it."
--William Cohan, New York Times and Financial Times reporter and author of Money and Power: How Goldman Sachs Came to Rule the World

"A must-read for those who love this country and wish to preserve its fast-fading democracy. Edwards is an extraordinary writer who brilliantly captures the essence of what whistleblowers such as Snowden have sacrificed their careers and jeopardized their personal liberties to convey to each of us. This book has arrived just in time if--and only if--those who are moved by it take concerted practical actions to reverse the silent coup that we suffered in 2001."
--Daniel Ellsberg, Pentagon Papers whistleblower and Director, Freedom of the Press Foundation
Reseña del editor:
In the United States today, our Bill of Rights has been rendered pointless by heavy surveillance of average citizens, political persecution of dissenters, and the threat of indefinite detention now codified into law. Corporations reap handsome profits collecting information for various agencies - 70 percent of the US intelligence budget is paid to private contractors. As a result, we now live in a Corporate Security State where the government is more interested in safeguarding the health of the companies who serve it than the citizens who support it.

The Rise of the American Corporate Security State details the massive amount of information the government is collecting and exposes how far it’s willing to go to conceal its activities and punish anyone who dares expose it. Further, the blurring of the boundaries between business and government is enabling corporations to spy on employees and citizens in the name of “cybersecurity” and has hobbled attempts to punish the corporate institutions responsible for the financial collapse of 2008.

But Edwards offers a plan for fighting back - steps we can demand to restore transparency to government, keep private information private, and make democracy a reality once again.
