A Kinder and Gentler Tyranny: Illusions of a New World Order

WOW! A fantastic and extensive work describing how society has developed a world order detrimental to the majority of citizens, the complex role of judeo-christian ideology in shaping the current order as well as providing the "moral imagination" to struggle for betterment, and a vision for a new earth order based upon justice, humanism, and morality. A must read for anyone wishing to gain a better undrestanding of how the world works and for giving abstract notions of "first world" "free trade" "debt" "NWO" a human face. Open the front cover and step out of the cave. With many perspectives from the viewpoint of the oppressed, Rivage-Seul(s) work makes for a great gift for university students as well as social activiest seeking greater understanding.
