4/$20 | Voltaire’s Bastards | The Dictatorship of Reason in the West

Previously loved softcover book by John Rolston Saul titled ‘Voltaire’s Bastards | The Dictatorship of Reason in the West’ . Goodreads says : John Ralston Saul is a Canadian author, essayist, and President of International PEN. As an essayist, Saul is particularly known for his commentaries on the nature of individualism, citizenship and the public good; the failures of manager-, or more precisely technocrat-, led societies; the confusion between leadership and managerialism; military strategy, in particular irregular warfare; the role of freedom of speech and culture; and his critique of contemporary economic arguments ** all my listings are cross posted 🙂
