“A triumphalist corporate capitalism, free at last of the specter of Communism, has mobilized its economic power to relentlessly marginalize all nonmarket values; to subordinate every aspect of American life to corporate "efficiency" and the bottom line; to demonize not only government but the very idea of public service and public goods.” IdeasGovernmentLastsValuesLinesEconomicCapitalismAspectBottomCommunismCorporateGoodsEfficiencyBottom LinePublic ServiceSubordinatesAmerican LifeEconomic Power Author:Ellen Willis
