Books by David S. Allen

Exposes the vested interests behind the US slide toward conflating corporate values with democratic values. Through an examination of professionalization in both the press and the law and free speech as property, this book demonstrates that present democracy is about trying to control and manage citizens than giving them freedom to participate.

By reformulating traditional liberal and libertarian approaches to the First Amendment, this title convincingly disputes the notion that those who question an unwavering reliance on free- and-open competition between individuals to produce free expression are necessarily enemies of free speech.
