Knowledge, Consent, and Liberty: A Blueprint for a Twenty-First Century "Enlightenment"

The angst of modernity is that of powerlessness, disenfranchisement, and alienation. People everywhere are experiencing helplessness in a world where the few rule, and leaders and legislators run roughshod over the masses with a deluge of laws, and where technology encroaches upon their daily lives and privacy, and an economic inequality never before seen in history. The concepts of self-determination; destroying superstition; government by the people; questioning all authority; and the power of knowledge, reason, and the authority of the individual is on the verge of dying. This book is about the power of knowledge; the supremacy of the consent of the governed; the legal and Constitutional right of the people of the globe to form their definitions of liberty, freedom, and government; and their obligation to create their collective destiny.
