This book comments on growing authoritarianism in democracy and
suggests how it ought to be instead. It asks if some degree of
authoritarianism is the need of the hour to address potentially
existential issues facing the human race. Readers are encouraged to
analyse the state of democracy in their own countries and verify if
it meets their expectations, or if it is just a myth or an
imposter, or a necessary but imperfect compulsion in the absence of
a perfect alternative. The book presents a commentary on the state
of democracy in some of the world's leading democracies. It aims to
challenge the human mind, which seems to be getting accustomed to
not having to think, thanks to a constant bombardment of
information-real and fake and in-between-that it receives through
social and print media, which is freely accessible through
smartphone to which it has become addicted. It discusses how the
drivers of capitalism - through their business-like connections
with powerful and influential politicians and celebrities-could be
cleverly manipulating the gullible human mind and exploiting the
system to their own material benefit.
