This groundbreaking book is a scathing critique of contemporary politics while proposing a new and fairer economic system. The author challenges us to revolutionize how we think about politics, ideology, and history, and exposes the ideas that have sustained inequality for the past millennium. He argues for a new "participatory" socialism, a system founded on an ideology of equality, education, and the sharing of knowledge and power. This is not just a book that will help us understand the world, but one that will change it.
