No Logo, No Space, No Choice, No Jobs, by Naomi Klein
Link:
No Logo, Naomi Klein 
No Logo uncovers a betrayal of the central promises of the
information age: choice, interactivity, and increased freedom. And as
job security disappears, the respectful reverence which corporations
enjoyed as engines of the economy is also dissipating - as is their
protection from worker and citizen rage.
Equal parts cultural analysis, political manifesto, mall-rat memoir, and journalistic exposé, No Logo
is the first book to put the new resistance into pop-historical and
clear economic perspective. Naomi Klein tells a story of rebellion and
self-determination in the face of our new branded world.
