The unconscious civilization (Massey lectures series)

Libro Usado, Tapa Blanda. In The Unconscious Civilization, John Ralston Saul argues that our Western democracy has been hijacked by a new form of corporate power. Instead of a society made of free, thinking citizens, we have become a culture managed by specialized groups, experts, and large organizations. Saul explains that this shift makes citizens passive and "unconscious," leading us to give up our personal responsibility and critical thinking in exchange for comfort and conformity. He calls for a return to true democracy, where individuals actively question authority and participate in shaping the public good.
