The book challenges the perception of environmental policy as a democratic domain free from corporate influence. It examines how U.S. economic elites manipulate environmental policy to serve their interests, using case studies on national forests, parks, wilderness preservation, and clean air regulations. Through these examples, the author reveals the significant impact of corporate power in shaping environmental outcomes, highlighting the intersection of wealth and policy-making in areas typically viewed as untainted by capitalism.
