ردة فعل غاضبة من المليارديرات.. عصر فضائح الشركات وكيف يمكن أن ينقذ الديمقراطية

A fascinating story about how corporate scandals change \- From Enron to the Facebook privacy scandal \- The way the world works for the better. Pepper Culpepper and Tycho Lee draw on a decade of research on policymaking and public opinion to show how scandals can inflame a public that lacks political outlets to express its discontent. Not only do scandals dominate the news, they can prompt us to demand better policies, prompting governments to adopt laws that protect us from encroaching giant corporations. Today, giant corporations run the world, not governments. It launches rockets into space, controls satellite communications, and develops age-changing artificial intelligence technologies. But around the world, these giants are facing growing public hostility. Tech giants are seen as promoting misinformation, undermining democracy, and violating our privacy. Major banks, which have been struggling since the 2008 financial crisis, are still reeling from major scandals. Drawing on real-life examples, such as the milk powder scandal that rocked France, the Volkswagen scandal in Germany, the Goldman Sachs scandal in the United States, the Cambridge Analytica scandal in Britain, and the Samsung scandal in South Korea, the authors show that these scandals are not just symptoms of neglect by the institutional elite, but rather are real opportunities for political change.
