Paperback. Do you ever find yourself utterly appalled at the current state of American society, what, with its militant partisanship, reality TV-style political system, widespread corruption, rampant inequality, crumbling infrastructure, chronic disease and opioid epidemics, surveillance apparatus, regime change wars, undemocratic employment structure, the encroachment of Big Tech and Corporate America into all aspects of existence, and education and healthcare outcomes that lag behind much of the developed world? Institutions that once commanded public trust now appear completely hollowed out, political debate increasingly resembles spectacle rather than governance, the partisan divide seems wider than ever, and each passing year seems to bring new scandals, new crises, and new revelations of elite misconduct. For a nation as wealthy, technologically and medically advanced, and geopolitically powerful as the United States, these contradictions raise a serious question: how can a system produce such persistent dysfunction while continuing to reproduce itself year after year without anyone ever doing anything about it? How did things get SO bad, and why does nothing ever change? Do we not live in "times that try men's souls"? If you answered "yes" to any or all of those questions, I have written this book for you. From a strictly non-partisan perspective deeply critical of both parties, this book examines a system that all of us live within but rarely ever learn how to see-ultimately because those who control the levers of society do not want us to see it. Just as people want to reduce Trump's success to one single cause like racism, we could easily reduce all of society's ills to one cause like inequality, corruption, an unbridled profit motive, systemic racism, etc., but that would be intellectually lazy, as the ills arise from the combination of these and other factors. Neither a conspiracy in the vulgar sense nor the product of a single ideology or ruling cabal, the proverbial "system" run by "the man" is a convergent structure, a dense network of economic, political, legal, technological, social, cultural, and psychological mechanisms that together organize behavior, shape perception and understanding, constrain imagination, and ensure uncritical obedience. This book refers to the system as the "Matrix of Domination." This item is printed on demand.

Derecho al desistimiento
Si es un consumidor, puede rescindir el contrato de acuerdo con lo siguiente. Por consumidor se entiende cualquier persona física que actúe con fines ajenos a su actividad comercial, empresarial, oficio o profesión.
Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
Deberá devolver los bienes o entregarlos a CitiRetail, Stevenage, United Kingdom, sin demoras indebidas y, en cualquier caso, en un plazo máximo de 14 días a partir del día en que nos comunique su desistimiento del presente contrato. El plazo se cumple si devuelve la mercancía antes de que venza el periodo de 14 días. Tendrá que asumir los gastos directos de devolución de los bienes. Usted solo es responsable de la disminución del valor de los bienes como resultado de una manipulación distinta a la necesaria para establecer la naturaleza, las características y el funcionamiento de los bienes.

El derecho de desistimiento no se aplica a lo siguiente:
- La entrega de periódicos, diarios o revistas, con la excepción de los contratos de suscripción; y
