Recenzii
"A calm, analytic, probing, documented and riveting critique of Washington's kowtowing to Detroit, and the efforts of consumer and environmental groups, on behalf of motorists, safety and clean air, to stop the melding of this corporate state." Ralph Nader, Washington D.C.
"Stan Luger has written a first-rate study of corporate power in modern America. By dissecting the relationship of the automobile industry to government, he reveals the structural roots of business power, and also the conditions under which the grip of business on government is sometimes relaxed. Thus illuminating and nuanced study speaks directly to the political limits and possibilities of our time." Frances Fox Piven, City University of New York
"Stan Luger provides us with a rich and troubling account of the U.S. automobile industry's political power during the last half century. The evidence that he amasses forces us to consider the parallels with the tobacco industry. Will future historians group these together as 'outlaw industries' that skillfully used political power to avert effective regulation of dangerous products?" Fred Block, University of California, Davis
"...a scholarly study of the history of the power and influence of the automobile industry on governmental policies and the interactions of government, automobile industry, and societal pressures...the author does a creditable job of presenting the material. For readers interested in policymaking with respect to the automobile industry, it is a jolly good read." The Flying Lady, Rolls-Royce Owners' Club.
