When it comes to international affairs, many are content to sit on the sidelines, leaving the future in the hands of our political leaders. But this type of apathy has dangerous implications for the world at large. Driven by power, profit, and corporate interests, politicians have little reason to build a fair and prosperous society that would benefit the silent majority. Instead, they feed people a steady dose of misinformation to make them feel as though they're being "heard."
There's no denying it's time for a wake-up call. With international relations more volatile than ever, more and more individuals are in search of change, finding themselves disillusioned with the current state of affairs and a wealthy, self-serving political class.
Through seven thought-provoking essays, author Hani Montan combats the apathy and propaganda plaguing modern politics and provides an analytical and realistic viewpoint on several important issues.
While tackling subjects such as money, nationalism, and religion, Montan's Voice of Reason stands out from other books in its genre by avoiding tedious back-of-book notes and indexes. Instead, it provides pertinent definitions and information immediately after the related paragraph for an uninterrupted reading experience.
