Political Economy of Corporate Power and Free Speech in the United States
Subscribe/Renew Journal
This political economic analysis of U.S. Supreme Court jurisprudence broadly examines corporate speech rights in campaigns and elections, in commercial speech, and in conflicts between speech and privacy. From this examination, it appears that corporate wealth has expressed its dominance within communication space, which was once the primary domain of human liberty. Moreover, the analysis demonstrates the 'historical amnesia' expressed within the Supreme Court about the revolutionary potential of electronic media, as corporate encroachment of communication space is diminishing the value of human speech under the law.
