Conspiracy of Capital

Drawing on a wealth of primary sources, The Conspiracy of Capital offers a new history of American radicalism and the alliance between the modern business corporation and national security state through a comprehensive reassessment of the role of conspiracy laws and conspiracy theories in American social movements.

Intre anii 1880 si 1920, o vasta coalitie de disidenti americani, care a inclus caricaturisti furiosi, avocati pentru libertati civile, detectivi socialisti, organizatori sindicali si martiri revolutionari, a forjat o cultura a radicalismului popular care a provocat direct un capitalism corporativ emergent. Capitalistii cu monopol si aliatii lor din guvern au raspuns prin extinderea legilor conspiratiei si promovarea teoriilor conspiratiei intr-un efort de distrugere a acestei miscari anticapitaliste.
