your call is very important to us: advertising and the corporate theft of personhood

In a unique exploration of how corporations take on rights and identities of people, Hardack reveals corporate America’s quest to dominate every aspect of our culture. Making a seemingly complex topic accessible, the book recontextualizes the inordinate influence of corporations as a legal, political, psychological, and sociological phenomenon.

Richard Hardack, who holds a Ph.D. and JD from Berkeley, has applied his love of history, law, and literature to projects such as NASA’s History of the Juno Mission to Jupiter; a book titled Not Altogether Human: Pantheism and the Dark Nature of the American Renaissance; and the courses he’s taught at the University of California, Berkeley and Bryn Mawr and Haverford Colleges.
