Devastating Society: The Neo-Conservative Assault on Democracy and Justice - Tapa dura

Every American ought to read these indictments of the G. W. Bush administration's self-righteous attacks on honesty, fairness, decency, and the rule of law. (Wendell Bell, Yale University)

A much-needed antidote both to simplistic anti-American rhetoric and to the view that current trends lead toward peaceful and sustainable futures. This book is vital reading for those tired of media evasions, who wish to think for themselves and to gain clarity regarding the current global economic and geopolitical order. (Richard Slaughter, Foresight International, President, World Futures Studies Federation)

This is an important and fascinating book, which gives an original and scathing insight into the workings of the far right of American society and its impacts on social justice. (Jean Ziegler, University of Geneva)
