Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book ambitiously sets out to challenge and deconstruct the notion of corporate bodies, particularly those that have long dominated the town of Hull and its surrounding areas. Drawing from multiple historical examples, the author dissects their negative impact, argues against granting them the authority and respect that has been traditionally afforded them, and urges for a proper balance of power that protects the best interests of the people. The author argues that these corporate bodies have become vehicles for malicious intent, interference, and economic disparity between the governing few and the governed many. With the author's careful assembly of evidence, this book will interest readers seeking a deeper understanding of local corruption and malfeasance.
