Synopsis "Managing Democracy, Managing Dissent: Capitalism, Democracy and the Organisation of Consent (in English)"
Managing Democracy, Managing Dissent includes twenty essays--written by writers, academics and activists and edited by Corporate Watch researcher Rebecca Fisher--which collectively argue that genuine democracy and capitalism exist in fundamental contradiction, and explores how this contradiction is sustained via propaganda, manipulation of public opinion, and the co-option, marginalisation and repression of dissent. This ground-breaking book reveals how despite its inherently anti-democratic nature, global capitalism is dependent upon the manipulation of the concept of democracy to survive. It thus exposes a potential weakness at the heart of capitalism, which activists and campaigners can usefully target in their struggle against oppression and environmental destruction.
