The Powell memo.
1971 memo written by corporate lawyer Lewis Powell, which outlined a plan for Corporate America to seize power and influence government policy. Powell's memo, titled "Attack on the American Free Enterprise System," called for a coordinated effort by businesses to combat the perceived threats to their interests, including leftist radicals and academics. The memo's influence can be seen in the rise of right-wing think tanks and the increasing influence of corporate interests in politics and academia. This has led to the erosion of democratic institutions and the creation of a tech oligarchy, where corporate interests dominate policy-making.
