"The Greening of America" 1970, Charles Reich

This book is worth a read for anyone who wants to understand how we got to where we are today. Much of it is dated since this is just after Woodstock and the Vietnam war protests, but the basic premise of this book has not changed.

Reich explains how the Corporate State came to be and how they were ready, even in 1970 to control our government and every one of our lives. That has not changed.
