Description
The Unconscious Civilization by John Ralston Saul In this thought-provoking work, John Ralston Saul examines the ways in which corporatism has become deeply ingrained in our society. He argues that democracy is being eroded and that individuals are unwittingly trapped within a stifling "corporatist" structure that prioritises the interests of business managers and technocrats over those of citizens. Saul contends that this structure promotes social segmentation, pitting competing interest groups against one another and creating ethnic blocks. He seeks to expose the underlying mechanisms that drive this system and to inspire a more critical awareness of its effects on our democracy. Through his analysis, Saul aims to encourage readers to think more deeply about the nature of power and influence in modern society.
