The argument contends that the automobile's ascendance is inextricably linked to several factors-from capitalism and involved corporate malfeasance to political intrigue, backroom payoffs, and media manipulation. The discussion also cites the elements of racism, academic corruption, third world coups, secret armies, environmental destruction, and even war, stating that when the domination of cars is challenged, capitalism is as well. Comparing studies in more than a dozen U.S. cities, this gritty, anti-car, road-trip story provides a unique observation for all those who wish to escape the clutches of auto insanity.Country/Region of Manufacture: CAGenre: Travel & TransportTopic: Business & Finance, Technology & EngineeringRelease Year: 2011 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
