Citizens DisUnited: Passive Investors, Drone CEOs, and the Corporate Capture of the American Dream

Democratic capitalism—the source of America’s vast wealth, the foundation of our entire economic system—is threatened as never before, not from without but from within. Far too much of American business is being run for the personal enrichment and glorification of its managers. This book shows how that happened and unveils, for the first time, a new study showing that corporations “un-owned” by their shareholders—corporate “drones”—are far worse corporate citizens and have significantly lower average shareholder returns.
