“Green sets off [his] fire alarm with an acetylene torch as hot as anyone has applied to the Washington legal scene.” ―Joseph A. Califano, Jr., Harvard Law Bulletin These are the most powerful private citizens in America: the Washington lawyers whose impact is hidden―and made effective―in the halls of Congress and the hearing rooms of the regulatory agencies. Drawing on his training as a lawyer, Mark Green describes the tactics that influential law firms use to represent big business against the interests of consumer health and safety. Through anecdote and analysis, we see the tactics used, the associations made, the positions Washington’s lawyers take to implement, and rationalize, their work. Newsworthy, tough-minded, enormously readable, this is a book about the other government that shapes our lives. For the Norton Library edition, Mr. Green has revised the text throughout and added new material. Ralph Nader’s introduction to this edition discusses integrity vs. cynicism in the lawyer’s world, and a new chapter by Nader and Green provides a consumer’s guide to choosing and using a lawyer without paying exorbitant fees.

“A book no one interested in business and public policy can afford to ignore.” ―Business Week Five years in the preparation, Taming the Giant Corporation is the culminating product of Ralph Nader’s examination of governmental and business irresponsibility. It explains in readable detail not only how our megacorporations abuse their power, but also what we―our government, our citizens―can do about it. Nader, Green, and Seligman persuasively argue that we need to rethink and redesign corporate law.

These important articles, commissioned especially for this book by The New Democracy Project, lay out a program for progressive patriotism that candidates can run on and govern by—and that voters can use to evaluate candidates.
Each contributor is a leading progressive author, scholar, or advocate in her or his field. Each has written an original essay answering a basic question—what kind of America do we want? What are new directions for this new era? Writers both discuss the state-of-the-play in their areas and propose solutions—from the practical to the visionary—that a sympathetic President and Congress could pursue in 2005 and accomplish by 2010.
Introduced by Mark Green, the essays are by Sandy Berger, Jonathan Schell, Anne-Marie Slaughter, Gary Hart, James K. Galbraith, Robert Greenstein, Peter Orszag, Joel Seligman, Richard F. Elmore, Ron Pollack, Carl Pope, Bruce Katz, David Cole, Christopher Edley Jr., Ellen Chesler, Christopher Stone, and Mark Schmitt.
