This book is based on extremely relevant subject matter for current times. Hopefully, next few years will prove how great a vision this was and how timely it was.

Not in my wildest dreams did I think that purchasing this book would be such a colossal waste of my time and money. Completely lost in political and philosophical jargon. I have never not finished a book by David wood. Now I have. WTF?
