Industrial-Strength Denial
Industrial-Strength Denial: Eight Stories of Corporations Defending the Indefensible, from the Slave Trade to Climate Change
In "Industrial-Strength Denial," Barbara Freese embarks on a compelling journey through the dark corridors of corporate denial, where profits overshadow truth, and the well-being of people and the planet is often disregarded. With her sharp legal acumen and unwavering dedication to environmental advocacy, Freese exposes eight harrowing campaigns where industries—from tobacco to fossil fuels—have waged wars against scientific evidence and moral responsibility. Through meticulously researched narratives, Freese reveals how these corporations have not only endangered public health and the environment but have also eroded the foundations of democracy by undermining trust in science and government. This book is an exploration of the psychological and sociological mechanisms that drive corporations to deny their harmful impacts. Freese delves deep into the corporate psyche, unveiling how tribalism, power, conflict, and the very structure of corporations themselves foster a culture of denial. "Industrial-Strength Denial" is not just a chronicle of past transgressions but a clarion call for recognizing and confronting the corporate denials that shape our world today. It challenges readers to question the norms that have long protected powerful interests at the expense of truth, urging a collective awakening to the realities of corporate influence and the urgent need for accountability in the age of environmental crisis.
