Wrong, argues Susan George in this fascinating, thorough, and often chilling account of the decades-long transformation of American society and political culture. Using the four “Ms” – money, media, marketing, management—but above all with a keen sense of mission, the American secular and religious right has made its “long march through the institutions” and changed the way Americans think.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs the left went about its business in blissful ignorance, convinced that its policies, programmes, and projects spoke for themselves and would always prevail, the right’s well-oiled machine of foundations, lobbies, think-tanks, publications, political cadres, lawyers, and activist organisations slowly and strategically took over. A broad alliance of neo-liberals, neo-conservatives, and the religious right successfully manufactured a new common sense, assaulted Enlightenment values, and targeted the top of society where culture is created and legitimised, because they knew that ideas have consequences—and not just in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHijacking America\u003c\/i\u003e is that rarity of a book, a thoroughly researched page-turner. Clearly and gracefully written, it will enthral the general reader while providing plenty of factual nourishment for the student of politics, culture, religion, or international relations. And for all those who hope for a different America in the future, the first step is to hold the present one up to the light and understand how it got that way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47455588286700,"sku":"9780745644615","price":35.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/61hJoIc4kHL._SL1500.jpg?v=1774785313"},{"product_id":"whose-crisis-whose-future-by-susan-george-9780745651385","title":"Whose Crisis, Whose Future?","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhose Crisis, Whose Future?\u003c\/em\u003e Crisis? Whose crisis? Today we are in the midst of a multifaceted crisis which touches the lives of everyone on the planet. Whether it's growing poverty and inequality or shrinking access to food and water, the collapse of global financial markets or the dire effects of climate change, every aspect of this crisis can be traced to a transnational neoliberal elite that has steadily eroded our rights and stripped us of power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd yet our world has never been so wealthy, and we have, right now, all the knowledge, tools, and skills we need to build a greener, fairer, richer world.
