Business Domination Inc

In the world according to American Legislative Exchange Council, competing firms in free markets are the only real source of social efficiency and wealth. Government contributes nothing but security. Outside of this function, it should be demonized, starved or privatized. Any force in civil society, especially labor, that contests the right of business to grab all social surplus for itself, and to treat people like roadkill and the earth like a sewer, should be crushed. This view of the world dominated the legislative sessions that began in January. Here, Rogers and Dresser examine what happened in three critical economic areas: revenue, privatization, and unions.
