Reveals how corporate greed led to scandal, corruption, and the January 6th insurrection—and how we can stop it from happening again Donald Trump's false claims of election fraud and the violence of the Capitol riot have made it unavoidably clear that the future of American democracy is in peril. Unseen political actors and untraceable dark money influence our elections, while anti-democratic rhetoric threatens a tilt towards authoritarianism. In Corporatocracy, Ciara Torres-Spelliscy reveals the role corporations play in this dire state of political affairs, and explains why and how they should be held accountable by the courts, their shareholders, and citizens themselves. Drawing on key Supreme Court cases, Torres-Spelliscy explores how corporations have, more often than not, been on the wrong side of history by working to undermine democratic norms, practices, and laws. From bankrolling regressive politicians to funding ghost candidates with dark money, she shows us how corporations subvert the will of the American people, and how courts struggle to hold them and corrupt politicians accountable. Corporations have existed far longer than democracies have. If voters, consumers, and investors are not careful, corporations may well outlive democracy. Corporatocracy brings all of these shadowy tactics to light and offers meaningful legal reforms that can strengthen and protect American democracy.

Especially once he meets the beautiful Lauren. Alex has never been used to sticking with one woman, but he wants a relationship with Lauren badly. Will they get the love and destiny they have always wanted? Or will their personalities collide and burn their happy ending into ashes? About the Author Damage Done is Ciara Evans's first novel.

Four teens become friends, giving one another alibis for getting out of the house. One teen is amply endowed, another is of mixed blood, the third is overly fashion conscious, while the fourth is demurely pretty and the result of an unwanted pregnancy. The fourth has both parents at home but they aren't thrilled about raising a child. What began as recreation for the kids is now an ingrained habit as they continue to drink, smoke pot, and use drugs to accept the reality into which they were born. Trinity reads volumes in hopes of college, Sandrine is a drama queen, Mesha's only sister is murdered, and Cali wishes she'd been born as Dr. Seuss's offspring. Their merry-go-round of life continually circles but gold rings are scarce as the world lies restless and hopeful as teens beg to differ with one another about their future.
