Corporations Control Our Governments: Here’s How | Aaron Bastani meets Matt Kennard | Downstream
Most of you will agree that corporations have undue influence over our democracies, but exactly how this influence is exerted is tricky to illustrate - and that is by design. Behind innocuous sounding acronyms and worthy sounding trade agreements are the real cogs that allow the global corporate machine to corrupt societies and our guest this week, Matt Kennard, has spent the last two years investigating these shady entities. In his new book, ‘Silent Coup’, he and co-author Claire Provost give us shocking examples of how corporations exert, expand and consolidate control over the lives of practically everyone.

How Corporations Overthrew Democracy | Matt Kennard
Honduras is being sued for a third of its GDP by an American company—why?
Because the developing nation changed its mind about Prospera building a charter city on its territory. This case, which could bankrupt Honduras, will be judged in a back room of the World Bank by three people, none of whom are obliged to even have a law degree.
Matt Kennard, investigative journalist and author of Silent Coup: How Corporations Overthrew Democracy, explains the origin of this shadowy legal system, and how it has infiltrated politics, skews policies, and traps developing nations into exploitative relationships with some of the world’s biggest corporations, definitively undermining the democratic process.

'Silent Coup'—How corporations rule the world w/Matt Kennard | The Chris Hedges Report
The 20th Century saw a great global uprising against European imperialism as the former colonial countries shook off their shackles and rose up for independence. More than a half century later, global inequality is sharper than ever before. To understand the current predicament of the vast majority of the world's people, we must understand the intervening decades. Matt Kennard and Claire Provost's book, Silent Coup: How Corporations Overthrew Democracy, looks inside the international architecture of global corporate governance that exists to flout and crush any attempts by the former colonial world to enact development on their own terms. Matt Kennard joins The Chris Hedges Report for a look at this intriguing and essential history.

Silent Coup: How Corporations Overthrew Democracy
As European empires crumbled in the twentieth century, the power structures that had dominated the world for centuries were up for renegotiation. Yet, instead of a rebirth for democracy, what emerged was a silent coup – namely, the unstoppable rise of global corporate power.
Exposing the origins of this epic power grab as well as its present-day consequences, the book Silent Coup provides an explosive guide to the rise of a corporate empire that now dictates how resources are allocated, how territories are governed, and how justice is defined. In this meeting Claire Provost will address questions such as: How corporations were able to assemble so much power? What works – and what doesn't – to build counterpower?
The introduction to this meeting will be provided by Claire Provost. Claire ...
