Life Inc.

In Life Inc., award-winning writer Douglas Rushkoff explores the evolution of corporations from mere legal entities to powerful influences in modern society. Tracing the history from the late Middle Ages to the present, he examines how corporate values have infiltrated everyday life, shaping perceptions of success and community. Rushkoff argues that the current financial crisis presents a valuable opportunity to challenge this pervasive trend, advocating for a return to direct, human-centered interactions and a reconnection with local values and relationships.
