520 _aPower, Inc. explores the centuries-long struggle for dominance between corporations and governments, arguing that in today’s globalized economy, corporations are becoming more powerful than many nation-states. Rothkopf traces the evolution of this power dynamic from medieval Europe to the present, showing how the rise of modern capitalism has shifted influence away from elected governments toward private entities driven by profit. He analyzes key historical moments—such as the rise of the Dutch East India Company, the American and French Revolutions, and the global expansion of capitalism—to illustrate how corporations have steadily gained legal rights, global reach, and economic power that often allow them to dictate terms to governments, especially in weaker or poorer nations.
