Authoritative democracies
need or capitalistic greed? /[electronic resource] :by Bill K. Koul. - Singapore :Springer Nature Singapore :2022. - xxix, 370 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.
Chapter 1. Our Present and Existential Issues -- Chapter 2. India's Covid-19 Tsunami -- Chapter 3. Democracy is as good as Free and Fair Elections -- Chapter 4. The Impressionable Mind Of Electors -- Chapter 5. Is Free Democracy A Myth? -- Chapter 6. Can Humans Reverse The Slide?
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. Bill K. Koul is an engineer by profession and an author by passion. He has worked on numerous infrastructure projects globally in his more than 35-year long engineering career. As an author, this is his ninth published book. He writes on a range of topic related to humanities, such as human wellness, education, philosophy, human and environmental sustainability and politics.
