Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - What is happening to the world For decades, we were promised a better future. We were encouraged to study, to educate ourselves, to cooperate, to respect others, and to trust in knowledge as a tool for advancing as a society.

And yet, today we see empty rhetoric triumph, leaders who speak of what they don't know, who disregard scientific evidence, and who don't hesitate to trample on others to maintain or display power. We live in an increasingly unstable climate while rents rise, precariousness becomes normalized, and inequality widens.
