More about the book

The book explores the complex and adversarial relationship between American business and politics, highlighting deep-seated mutual distrust. It examines how this dynamic influences business ideology, regulatory approaches, public interest movements, industrial policy, and perceptions of business ethics in the U.S. Drawing on over twenty years of scholarship, the author provides a comprehensive analysis of the unique legalistic and confrontational nature of American governance and its impact on the business landscape.
