Silent Coup alerts us to the destructive effects of corporate control of our economy, jobs, social programs, and political democracy. The book outlines a detailed and workable plan for challenging the agenda for Canada set by large transnational corporations. It shows how social movements and community organizations can be retooled and revitalized to confront these corporations and how true economic, social, and political democracy can be restored. Silent Coup offers a sharp diagnosis of the challenges confronting Canadian democracy and a clear prescription for action.
