Beschreibung:
Citizens are caught in a paradox. Voting levels are falling, there are growing feelings of powerlessness, social unfairness and yet citizens are constantly told that they have more choice as well as greater freedom and liberty.This book brilliantly explains these discrepancies.

It exposes inconsistencies in the market-based and apolitical vision of our collective future. This book:
