The Silent Takeover

Product Description

The way we are governed is changing. Government has less & less power to influence how we live our lives, while the private sector has more power than ever to control what we do & what we think. Yet the business pages of the newspapers still come as a supplement, while the activities of governments dominate the front pages & the headlines. To understand the new world in which we are living, we need to learn to challenge long-held assumptions about the nature of power in society; The Silent Takeover isl be an essential guide to that new understanding as we enter the 21st century: a time in which we can no longer rely on politicians
- of whatever stripe
- to meet our needs; a time in which business, rather than political parties, offers the way forward; a time in which we can make more of an impact through our pockets than we have ever done through the ballot box.
