The Thumb on the Scale or the Supermarket Shell Game

The Human Condition

A work of striking originality bursting with unexpected insights, "The Human Condition" is in many respects more relevant now than when it first appeared in 1958. In her study of the state of modern humanity, Hannah Arendt considers humankind from the perspective of the actions of which it is capable. The problems Arendt identified then --- diminishing human agency and political freedom, the paradox that as human powers increase through technological and humanistic inquiry, we are less equipped to control the consequences of our actions --- continue to confront us today.

The Innocent Consumer vs. The Exploiters

Sidney Margolius has been reporting on consumer problems for 30 years and believes the public has never been as widely and steadily exploited as today, from the children manipulated by TV toy ads and the teen-agers by disc jockeys, to their parents manipulated into habitual installment buying at startling charges for the financing, and often for the merchandise as well. This is serious business. It involves much more than mere irritations. It really involves a massive waste of family money and a diversion of family resources that are helping to frustrate vital personal and national goals such as advanced education, the rehabilitation of our cities, better housing and more adequate health care.

Censorship, Inc.: The Corporate Threat to Free Speech in the United States

The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution is a landmark in the defense of free speech against government interference and suppression. In this book we come to see how it also acts as a smokescreen behind which a more dangerous and insidious threat to free speech can operate. Soley shows how as corporate power has grown and come to influence the issues on which ordinary Americans should be able to speak out, so new strategies have developed to restrict free speech on issues in which corporations and property-owners have an interest. Censorship, Inc. is a comprehensive examination of the vast array of corporate practices which restrict free speech in the United States today in fields as diverse as advertsing and the media, the workplace, community life, and the environment. Soley also shows how these threats to free speech have been resisted by activism, legal argument, and through legislation. Grounded in extensive research into actual cases, this book is at the same time a challenge to conventional thinking about the nature of censorship and free speech.
