Description: The Unconscious Civilization by John Ralston Saul From the author of Voltaires Bastards comes a philosophical examination of how corporatism has become so deeply ingrained into our society, how its destroying democracy, and how we can fight against it. In this intellectual tour de force John Ralston Saul argues that our society is only superficially based on the individual and democracy, and the West now toils unconsciously in the grip of a stifling "corporatist" structure that serves the needs of business managers and technocrats as it promotes the segmentation of society into competing interest groups and ethnic blocks.
