How the Corporate Takeover of American Politics Began
The corporate takeover of American politics started with a man and a memo you’ve probably never heard of.
In 1971, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce asked Lewis Powell, a corporate attorney who would go on to become a Supreme Court justice, to draft a memo on the state of the country.
Powell’s memo argued that the American economic system was “under broad attack” from consumer, labor, and environmental groups.
A necessary condition of becoming an Examination (or Prize) Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford, is taking an exam. The exam consists of four three-hour essay tests, or “papers.” Two of these are in your chosen specialist subject—Classical Studies, Law, History, English Literature, Economics, Politics, or Philosophy—and the other two are general tests and ask questions on a variety of topics. What questions have been on the philosophy exams? They change each year. Typically candidates are given around 30 questions for each test, from which they must choose three to answer. The exams cover a variety of philosophical topics, from classic questions to contemporary work. Below are the questions from the two 2022 philosophy exams: PHILOSOPHY I ‘If there is a god, they will look benevolently upon atheists.’ Discuss. Is disability primarily a social phenomenon?

Can there be time without change? Change without time? Is it possible to define truth?
