Many Monkeywrench patrons share the belief that corporate America has run amok, and is jeopardizing the environmental and economic health of communities around the country and world. We can respond to this in a number of ways- I personally suggest joining or supporting a union.
But sometimes a little direct action is appropriate, and this book is a great guide for fighting any corrupt business. The long list of tactics include organizing a boycott of their most profitable items/services, disinformation campaigns, and organizing pickets and protests. In fact this book features many far more interesting suggestions that I'm not going to write down. You'll just have to see for yourself.
I'm not officially suggesting any reader use the tactics recommended in this book. Some of them are of very questionable legality. But even if you don't do all of them, this is a compelling book. We tend to feel totally disempowered in American society today, that a few people don't stand a chance against the bureaucratic juggernauts of business and government. Dennis Fiery reminds us of the full range of what a pissed off citizen or worker can do to fight the powers-that-be. If you want to become a full-blown anti-business warrior, or just remind yourself that we're never really powerless, read this book.
