“If the people of this nation understood our banking and monetary system, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.” Henry Ford
Our contemporary liberal democracies have gradually given way to ademocratic, chaotic and illegal governance. By exploiting the flaws in our system to their advantage, the ruling class secures supreme power, while citizens sacrifice ever more.
What is the extent of the elites’ illegal power? And what can be done to change things?
In this book, Thierry Brugvin provides valuable material for any citizen concerned with preserving the rule of law. He conducts a damning investigation of our contemporary democracies, exposing their inner workings and suggesting ways of modernizing them to achieve a better distribution of wealth.
Thierry Brugvin holds a doctorate in sociology (EHESS) and teaches and researches at the University of Besançon. He specializes in the sociology of elites.
