About this ebook
New York Times bestselling author Carl Hiaasen shows how high the cost of Disney “magic” is in this critique of the company and its influence across America.
As a lifelong Florida resident living in the shadow of Disney World, award-winning author Carl Hiaasen has had a front-row seat to the inner workings of the Walt Disney Company. In the nine sharp, assertive essays that make up Team Rodent, Hiaasen explores how Disney maintains its pristine public image despite public scandals; highlights the dangers of allowing one corporation such sweeping power; and urges us to think critically about the Disney empire. Writes Hiaasen: “The message, never stated but avuncularly implied, is that America’s values ought to reflect those of the Walt Disney Company, and not the other way around.”
