Plutopolitocracy
Author: Frederick M. Tampoe
Publisher: Troubador Publishing Ltd
ISBN: 184876183X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 261
Book Description
The credit crunch has focused people’s attention to the fact that Democracy is not working as it was intended to – as a governance system that institutionalises power sharing between a country’s government and its people.The ‘people’ are being increasingly marginalised by career politicians and businessmen and women who have combined forces to create a plutopolitocracy that uses the power of the state to further their personal ambitions.Here, Dr Frederick M Tampoe traces how this change came about. He describes the rise of the plutopolitocracy, the huge influence that money and celebrity is playing in democratic politics and how, through its use, businesses are increasingly dominating political agendas. He looks at the major role played by the nations that are the strongest advocates of democracy and how they have succumbed to the temptation to manipulate national and global political systems and institutions to advance narrow political agendas, individual careers and the business interests of their sponsors in ‘big’ business. And he explores how the imposition of free market thinking on struggling nations has enriched global big business in developed nations at the cost of other nations and their people. Finally, he examines how the reassertion of human worth, integrity in public and business life, and a more neighbourly society with a reassertion of moral and ethical values would help the ‘demos’ reverse the current drift towards a world that is dominated by the plutopolitocracy.
