Loading... The Unconscious Civilization (1995)by John Ralston Saul
None. Saul's arguments on the state of our society depend too much on inappropriate literary connections, and some of his facts (for instance, on Mexico) are wrong and biased. (  ) jorgearanda | Nov 28, 2008 |   jguy7500 | Jan 28, 2008 | Our society, John Ralston Saul argues, is only superficially based on the individual and democracy. Increasingly it is conformist and corporatist, a society in which legitimacy lies with specialist or interest groups and decisions are made through constant negotiations between these groups. http://www.anansi.ca/titles.cfm?pub_id=44 (  ) gregsmith | Jul 12, 2006 | no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 088784586X, Paperback)In this intellectual tour de force, Saul argues that 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.(retrieved from Amazon Sun, 06 Jan 2013 16:01:12 -0500) No library descriptions found. |
