In this second part of his talk Cienfuegos describes the corporate rights conferred by two states: New Jersey and Delaware. And he covers in depth the original decision giving person-hood to corporations and the many consequences that followed by expanding the privileges based on that decision.
Two decisions transferring power to corporations have captured the imagination and a great deal of nationwide resistance. The 2010 Supreme Court ruling allowing unlimited spending on political campaigns and the much older decision conferring person-hood on corporations.
Paul Cienfuegos is a workshop leader, lecturer and writer. He has devoted most of his adult life to social change work. He works closely with the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund. CELDF, by the summer of 2013, has helped 150 communities in 9 states to ban corporate fracking, corporate mining, corporate water withdrawal for bottling, urban sewage sludge dumping on farm land, and unsustainable energy production.
Cienfuegos came to Willits, California, to present a short version of his two day workshop. This is part two of his one hour opening history lesson, given on July 1, 2013.
