Corporations have become more powerful than ever before, and they're using their power to harm people and the planet. They've bought our politicians, rigged the economy in their favor, and destroyed our environment.

But we don't have to take it anymore. We can fight back.

In her new book, How Corporations Became People And How You Can Fight Back, Elizabeth Warren shows how corporations have gained so much power and what we can do to stop them.

Warren argues that corporations are not people. They're legal entities that have been created by the government to serve a specific purpose. But over time, corporations have become more powerful than the government itself.

Warren shows how corporations have used their power to rig the economy in their favor. They've lobbied for laws that benefit them at the expense of everyone else. They've created monopolies and oligopolies that stifle competition and raise prices.

Warren also shows how corporations have destroyed our environment. They've polluted our air and water. They've clear-cut our forests. They've contributed to climate change.

But Warren doesn't just show us the problem. She also offers solutions. She proposes a number of reforms that would reduce the power of corporations and make them more accountable to the people.

These reforms include:

• Reversing the Citizens United decision, which allows corporations to spend unlimited amounts of money on elections.
• Passing a constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United.
• Strengthening antitrust laws to break up monopolies and oligopolies.
• Creating a new agency to enforce antitrust laws.
• Requiring corporations to disclose their political spending.
• Banning corporations from lobbying the government.
• Raising the minimum wage and expanding worker protections.
• Investing in renewable energy and clean technology.

Warren's book is a call to action. She shows us how corporations have become too powerful and what we can do to stop them. She offers a roadmap for a more just and equitable society.

If you're tired of the way corporations are running our world, then I urge you to read How Corporations Became People And How You Can Fight Back. It's a powerful book that will inspire you to take action.
