Our new century of unlimitedprivate profits has put an end to the era of publicly protected childhood.Separated by corporate design from their parents, kids have become capitalism'snewest and most lucrative (and most vulnerable) consumers. In his ChildhoodUnder Siege , Joel Bakan offers an angry but careful analysis of how themarket flourishes today by selling our children everything from dangerousdrugs, toxic plastics and unhealthy snack foods to violent and addictive videogames and for-profit standardized tests. The villains here are not playgroundstalkers but supposedly "child-friendly" companies like Nickelodeon,Facebook, Pfizer and Edison Schools, along with a trillion dollar children'smarketing machine and a "government is the problem" ideology that hasmade public regulation of the interests of children all but impossible.If they read Bakan carefully, once they get over their rage, both parentsand policy makers may be ready to lift the corporate siege that is threateningnot just our children but childhood itself." -Benjamin R.

Synopsis
Corporations have found a new resource to be mined for profit: our children . In this shocking and indelible behind-the-scenes journey, Joel Bakan, acclaimed author and award-winning maker of the renowned film and international bestselling book The Corporation , uncovers the astonishing degree to which companies exploit the special vulnerabilities of children, manipulate parents' fears, and operate with callous disregard for children's health and well-being. The number of children taking dangerous psychotropic drugs has skyrocketed as pharmaceutical companies employ insidious, often illegal tactics to inflate diagnoses of disorders and convince parents their children require medication. A highly sophisticated marketing industry deploys increasingly subtle and powerful tactics to play on children's intense emotions and desires and to lure them into obsessive consumerism. Computer game designers craft techniques to titillate children with sex and violence, while social media developers infiltrate and shape children's social and emotional worlds to compel them to spend more and more monetizable time online. America's schools are being transformed into profit centers while children are subjected to increasingly regimented teaching that thwarts curiosity and creativity, numbing the joy of learning. And children's chronic health problems, from asthma to cancer, autism, and birth defects, steadily escalate as thousands of new industrial chemicals are dumped into their environments. Nelson Mandela once sagely remarked that "there can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than the way it treats its children." The problem today, as Joel Bakan reveals, is that business interests have made protecting children extremely difficult. Corporations pump billions into rendering parents and governments powerless to shield children from an unrelenting commercial assault, with the result that after a century of progress, during which protective laws and regulations were widely promulgated, children are once again exposed to substantial harms at the hands of economic actors. Childhood Under Siege leaves no room for doubt that this assault on childhood is a major crisis of our time. A powerful manifesto for urgent change, it empowers us to shield our own children while offering concrete and realistic proposals for legal reforms that would protect all children from these predatory practices.
