Opis

"God, Government and Globalization" defines the germination andevolution of the concept of faith, the evolution of government throughmultiple stages of human civilization and emergence of capitalist corporatedomination.The central theme of this book is that religion, except in its pristine stage, hasalways supported establishment and the ruling elite, be it a monarchy, aristocracy or corporations. It is highly opportunistic, and waits in the wings todisplace the establishment in the corridors of power. It uses all instruments athand, regardless of the teachings of the creed it claims to champion. All religions have advocated aggression against the other, ostensibly in thename of faith, but actually to acquire land and assets. Islam's earlycolonization and the crusades are just two examples from history. Capital has changed its essential character from being national to multi-national and with the advancement in technology, has ceased to pay even lipservice to the working class."
