317: No Logo by Naomi Klein

No Logo: 10th Anniversary Edition with a New Introduction by the Author

This best-selling book about the anti-globalization movement introduced a generation to culture jamming and progressive concerns with out-sized corporate influence. Klein writes in an engaging style and covers a lot of territory. If you're not sure why progressives are concerned about giant multi-national corporations, this is a good place to start.

However, don't conclude your research with this book. In order to cover so much territory Klein tends to simplify the issues.

Why this is progressive/liberal: One of the largest, if not the largest, concern of progressives is corporate influence on the government. Democracy only works for the people if the people are in charge. A government that favors corporations over individuals is more accurately called a corporatocracy.
