Notes
- "Global Spin shows how, in a relentless assault on democracy and its institutions, the massive, covert power of large corporations has enabled corporate agendas to dominate the international debate about the state of the environment and the most effective means of solving environmental problems. This updated edition includes new chapters about the business campaign to prevent action on global warming, and whether Greenpeace’s ideals are being compromised by ‘greenwash’."–BOOK JACKET
