Review: We the Corporations: How American Businesses Won Their Civil Rights

We the Corporations: How American Businesses Won Their Civil Rights We the Corporations: How American Businesses Won Their Civil Rights by Adam Winkler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

200 plus years of lawyers and jurists interpreting, perverting, and writing the laws of the corporation, determining just how closely a corporation could be cast as a human, or a citizen. The author tells these legal case stories with relish, mixing the historic record with profiles of major players in this realm, from descriptions of Daniel Webster’s piercing black eyes to Samuel Alito’s brashness. Not dry, quite interesting.
