Description:

Can grassroots interest groups ever win the wars they wage against big business in America? Arguing that they can, Libby investigates the strategies used in an antibiotechnology campaign aimed at drug companies; an animal rights effort directed against the agricultural industry; an antipesticide campaign focused on the chemical industry; a property rights fight against environmental groups; and a secondhand smoke campaign opposing tobacco companies.
