This week, Andrea and Paul take a look at the Cult of Corporation’s blueprint for seizing and maintaining power in Washington. And, that blueprint is The Powell Memo. Never heard of it? Well, that’s part of the blueprint! As we discuss in United States of Lead, the 1960s and 1970s brought a lot more regulations for corporations to abide by, and SPOILER, corporations didn’t like being told what to do. And, as we can see today, they really got their way.
