book title

[Robert Weissman <rob@essential.org>]

Thanks to those of you who responded to our request for comments on title
proposals for the forthcoming book of our columns. The response was
overwhelming.

As you would expect, each of the three options we presented (Evil
Enterprise: How Corporations Mess You Up, Corporations on the Rampage: How
the Battle for MegaProfits Messes You Up, and Corporate Predators) had
supporters. Many people suggested alternatives to all three.

There was a substantial sentiment against using "Mess You Up," which many
people thought trivialized the subject matter. And the overwhelming
favorite of the titles was Corporate Predators.

Our final choice was to use Corporate Predators, and add a subtitle based 
a couple e-mail suggestions. We are going with Corporate Predators: The
Hunt for MegaProfits and the Attack on Democracy.

Thanks again to those who shared their thoughts.

Once we have them, we'll give you more details on publication date and
availability of the book, etc.
