>If you have some good reading material to add to my already growing list, go ahead and send me the references.

The aforementioned Cornered by Barry C. Lynn is one. Shock Doctrine, by Naomi Klein, is an absolute must-read.

>My focus, however, is how to empower individuals so that they aren't "enslaved" by the rulemakers. All too often I see stories that focus more on how the rulemakers are fighting amongst themselves, all acting in the name of the people. Then there's a bunch of namecalling and partisan politics, and the individual's empowerment gets lost.

Individuals cannot fight the growing control of corporations and the superwealthy... not by themselves. Do you really think they can? If so, how?
