 azos Bookstore presents Barry Lynn\, Wednesday\, February 24 at 7pm.\nIn C
 ornered: The New Monopoly Capitalism and the Economics of Destruction regu
 lar Harpers and Financial Times contributor Barry C. Lynn paints a genuine
 ly alarming picture: most of our public debates about globalization\, comp
 etitiveness\, creative destruction\, and risky finance are nothing more th
 an a cover for the widespread consolidation of power in nearly every imagi
 nable sector of the American economy.\nCornered strips the camouflage from
  the secret world of twenty-first-century monopolies&mdash\;neofeudalist e
 mpires whose sheer size\, vast resources\, and immense political power ena
 ble them to control virtually every major industry in America in an increa
 singly authoritarian manner. He reveals how these massive juggernauts\, wh
 ich would have been illegal just thirty years ago\, came into being\, how 
 they have destroyed or devoured their competition\, and how they collude w
 ith one another to maintain their power and create the illusion of open\, 
 competitive markets.\nLynn is one of the vital new voices of his generatio
 n\, and his work has been compared already to John Kenneth Galbraith and P
 eter Drucker. The Washington Post called Lynn's last book&mdash\;on global
 ization&mdash\;Tom Friedman for grownups. Cornered is essential reading fo
 r anyone who cares about America and its future.\n'Cornered has changed my
  view of what's gone wrong with American capitalism. Brilliantly argued an
 d meticulously reported\, it confronts with the age-old enemy of both prog
 ressives and libertarian conservatives -- the power of monopoly.' -- Barba
 ra Ehrenreich\, Nickel and Dimed\n'If economic institutions are too big to
  fail\, then they are too big. That's a lesson we learned from the recent 
 economic crisis. Or did we? In Cornered\, Barry Lynn shows how Washington 
 has doubled down on the same failed policies. Cornered is not only a histo
 ry\, it is a guide to the next meltdown. A great argument\, greatly needed
 .' -- James P. Pinkerton\, contributor\, Fox News Channel\, former advisor
  to presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush.\n\nStart time: 7:00pm
