In Commodify Your Dissent, the writers of The Baffler take aim at the corporate takeover of our culture. They argue that corporations are using their power to stifle dissent, promote their own agendas, and commodify our most cherished values.

The book is divided into three parts. The first part, "The Corporate Capture of Culture," examines how corporations have gained control over the media, the arts, and education. The second part, "The Commodification of Dissent," shows how corporations are using their power to silence critics and promote their own agendas. The third part, "The Fight for Free Speech," offers a roadmap for how we can fight back against the corporate takeover of our culture.
