Cover of BusinessNews Publishing: Summary: Empire of Illusion (ePUB)

The must-read summary of Chris Hedges’s book: “Empire of Illusion: The End of Literacy and the Triumph of Spectacle”.
This complete summary of ‘Empire of Illusion’ by Chris Hedges, a prominent American activist and minister, presents his account of the rise of a “post-literate society” that has created a world of false certainty and magic. He argues that political discourse has been taken over by nonsensical, over-simplistic rhetoric while serious film, literature and journalism is relegated to the intellectual minority.
Added-value of this summary:

• Save time

• Understand the truth behind post-literate and post-factual democracy

• Expand your knowledge of international politics and American society

To learn more, read ‘Empire of Illusion’ and discover how democracy is struggling to work in a post-literate society.
