Soft cover. Slight sunning to front joint and toning to edges, else fine. The Bush administration took advantage of 9/11 by adopting policies that sacrificed social needs, human rights, and the basic freedoms in the name of security and the market. Against the New Authoritarianism traces the US descent into authoritarianism, which is characterized by ruthless market fundamentalism, religious correctness that substitutes blind faith for critical reason, the growing militarization of everyday life, and corporate control of all elements of the dominant media. Critical education, which could serve as a foundation for an engaged citizenry and a vibrant democracy, is relentlessly attacked.
