Summary

In this groundbreaking follow up to Regime Change Begins at Home, Charles Derber examines what is behind the rise of the corporate regime in America and what we can do to realign ourselves against it. Double Meaning of Hidden Power deals with two kinds of hidden power 'the power behind 'who really rules America,' and the power of the American people to change the system According to Charlie Derber, it's all the same. This book will help citizens from all across party lines to understand the difference between the power of parties (and electoral victories) from the power of regimes, and show them that it's up to them to support regime change.
