Publisher: AllrOneofUs Publishing
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 59
Book Description
A wave of authoritarianism is sweeping the planet, tempting people to choose a dark path. It would be in our interest to know the traits of empires, so we can be alert to its dangers, to prevent and control its rise. Yet we are not taught to name the reality or to identify empire's basic traits. Thus, this work seeks to make clear the traits of the empire path. Then, this work wrestles with questions "Is there a good empire? Is a more utopian vision possible? And, if we are in an empire, how do we resist and build to a better future? We invite you to read this work to understand the flow of history and to gain hope that our world and its children can live in a richer, freer world.
