Reviews

"Full of black humor, Mosley, grandson of British fascist leader Oswald Mosley, acutely understands how and why current forms of electoral governance are destined to fall short of their promise." Publishers Weekly "A historical assessment and scathing critique of representative government." Book News "Almost all evils of the present day are attributed to the emergence, and subsequent establishment, of representative government..." Bookbag "This book is a refreshingly interesting and honest read and will leave you condemning the government even more, if that is possible." -- Honor Whiteman Mortgage Strategy "Mosley considers the rise of the corporation and its relationship to the representative form of government." Book News "Food for thought." -- Keith Richmond Tribune
