Richard, the Powell Memorandum will give you a couple things.

Lewis Lapham's essay, Tentacles of Rage (published in 2004) will give you a good idea how the Powell Memo was put into action. And I highly recommend it.

The Powell Memo itself, will show you how the rich and powerful "unionized" themselves against everybody else. Some might call it collective action, even conspiracy, but that is what "union" means.

The Powell Memo will also show you what the rich and powerful wanted and how they planned to get it (through collective action).

For example, gaining control over the US Supreme Court. And the formation of Think Tanks, designed to compete with, and eventually replace, universities that provided the public with an education. Public schools and universities educate the people that billionaires view as consumers. And turns "their" consumers into opposition.
