The paired TED talk
The new political story that could change everything (2019), the TED talk by George Monbiot.
From the publisher
George Monbiot uncovers what many have suspected but few have been able to prove: that corporations have become so powerful they now threaten the foundations of democratic government. Many of the stories he recounts have never been told before, and they could scarcely be more embarrassing to a government that claims to act on behalf of all of us. Captive State is a devastating indictment of the corruption which which our political leaders have succumbed.
