Join us for a business law breakfast as Adam Winkler discusses his newest book We the Corporations: How American Businesses Won Their Civil Rights which chronicles how American businesses won equal rights and transformed the Constitution to serve the ends of capital. Uncovering the deep historical roots of Citizens United, Prof. Winkler demonstrates how that 2010 Supreme Court decision was the capstone of a two-hundred-year battle over corporate personhood and constitutional protections for business.
