God, Government and Globalization

"God, Government and Globalization" defines the germination and evolution of the concept of faith, the evolution of government through multiple stages of human civilization and emergence of capitalist corporate domination. The central theme of this book is that religion, except in its pristine stage, has always supported establishment and the ruling elite, be it a monarchy, aristocracy or corporations. It is highly opportunistic, and waits in the wings to displace the establishment in the corridors of power. It uses all instruments at hand, regardless of the teachings of the creed it claims to champion. All religions have advocated aggression against the other, ostensibly in the name of faith, but actually to acquire land and assets. Islam's early colonization and the crusades are just two examples from history. Capital has changed its essential character from being national to multi-national and with the advancement in technology, has ceased to pay even lip service to the working class.
