"A must-read for anyone wanting to understand the truth about corporate-created untruths, this engaging, painstakingly researched, and elegantly written book is crucial for helping us see through profit-driven narratives designed with the explicit aim of distorting and deceiving. Industrial-Strength Denial reveals the cynicism, manipulation, and hypocrisy of corporations seeking to rationalize patently destructive (though profitable) practices, such as slavery or selling toxic chemicals, tobacco, and fossil fuels."--Joel Bakan, author of The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power <p/> "How much easier it would be to change the world if it weren't for the endless, organized lying of companies that make their money from the indefensible. This is such a useful chronicle for anyone trying to understand the shape of our world."--Bill McKibben, author of Falter: Has the Human Game Begun to Play Itself Out? <p/> "This book's originality is in Freese's use of psychological theory and insights to explain corporate behavior that seems simply venal or self-serving."--Gerald Markowitz, Distinguished Professor of History, John Jay College of Criminal Justice and the Graduate Center, City University of New York
