They employ us, sell to us and influence how we think and who we vote for, while their economic interests dictate local, national and global agendas.Written in clear and accessible terms, this much-needed textbook provides critical perspectives on all aspects of the relationship between business and society: from an historical analysis of the spread of capitalism as the foundation of the 'corporate' revolution in the late nineteenth century to the regulation, ethics and exclusionary implications of business in contemporary society. Furthermore, it examines how corporate power and capitalism might be resisted, outlining a range of alternatives, from the social economy through to new forms of open access or commons ownership. 517 $aBusiness and Society 610 $aIndustries 610 $aSocial science 676 $a658.408 700 $aBirch$b Kean$0905131 702 $aPeacock$b Mark 702 $aWellen$b Richard 702 $aHossein$b Caroline 702 $aScott$b Sonya 702 $aSalazar$b Alberto 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910155202903321 996 $aBusiness and Society : A Critical Introduction$93589172 997 $aUNINA
