This redirect may meet Misplaced Pages's criteria for speedy deletion because in its current form it serves only to promote or publicise an entity, person, product, or idea, and would require a fundamental rewrite in order to become encyclopedic. However, the mere fact that a company, organization, or product is a page's subject does not, on its own, qualify that page for deletion under this criterion. This criterion also does not apply where substantial encyclopedic content would remain after removing the promotional material as deletion is not cleanup; in this case please remove the promotional material yourself, or add the {{advert}} tag to alert others to do so. See CSD G11.%5B%5BWP%3ACSD%23G11%7CG11%5D%5D%3A+Unambiguous+%5B%5BWP%3ANOTADVERTISING%7Cadvertising%5D%5D+or+promotionG11

Captive State is a book written by the Guardian journalist and author George Monbiot in 2001, which examines the growth of corporate power in the UK and the perceived negative impact that this has on democracy and local communities.

The book explores issues such as the building of the Skye bridge using PFI, at huge cost to the islanders and the government but which generated massive profits for the private consortium who collected the tolls. Monbiot alleges through examinations of other PFI schemes and corporate dealings that the British government has shamefully and needlessly collaborated in its own redundancy, by giving massive powers to corporations at the short term and long term expense of citizens and communities.
