Silent Theft: The private plunder of our common wealth

Authors: 
David Bollier

“Silent Theft raises the kinds of questions that Washington typically represses. The book broaches issues that very likely are going to drive the next big turn of the political wheel. Silent Theft confirms the brooding sense, shared by many, of a system out of control.”
Jonathan Rowe, Washington Monthly.
