Hartmann's new book: "Who Killed the American Dream?"

Author and radio host Thom Hartmann argues the modern expansion of corporate power stems from an 1886 Supreme Court case, claiming a court headnote—not the ruling itself—helped lay the groundwork for treating corporations as constitutional "persons." In his new book, "Who Killed the American Dream," Hartmann tells The Final 5 with Jim Lokay the legacy of that interpretation shaped decisions like Citizens United and contends Congress or a constitutional amendment could curb corporate influence in politics.
