In today's world, considerable time and effort is devoted to appearance, both for individuals and organizations; the right look, an impressive title, a favourable connection. The focus is on the surface, with considerations of substance often overlooked. In this book, Mats Alvesson demystifies some popular and upbeat claims about a range of phenomena, including the knowledge society, consumption, branding, higher education, organizational change, professionalization, and leadership. He contends that a culture of 'grandiosity' is leading to numerous inflated claims. We no longer talk about plans but 'strategies'. Supervisors have been replaced by 'managers', and managers are referred to as 'executives'. Management itself is about 'leadership'. Giving advice is 'coaching'. Companies become 'knowledge-intensive firms'. This book views the contemporary economy as an economy of persuasion, where firms and other institutions increasingly assign talent, energy, and resources to rhetoric, image, branding, reputation, and visibility. This second edition uses a wide range of empirical examples to illuminate the realms of consumption, higher education, organization, and leadership in the 21st century. Exploring new areas such as strategic management in higher education, title inflation, and the increasing imbalance between knowledge, manual, and care work, this provocative and engaging book challenges established assumptions and contributes to a critical understanding of society as a whole.

Neal Herrick demonstrates, in a lucid manner, that government corruption is the predominant problem facing society today. Although bribery and influence peddling are the most visible aspect of this corruption, they are not, in Herrick's analysis, the most serious. For Herrick, the more serious aspect of government corruption is the laws that bribery and influence peddling produce-laws that favour the corporations-resulting in, what he calls, a kind of delusional corruption that leads, for example, to unjust and unnecessary wars. Tracing both forms of corruption back through American history, Herrick gives a brief account of governmental descent into lawlessness, identifies the constitutional flaw that led to this lawlessness, and discusses some of the issues that must be considered in devising remedies.

A dazzling exploration of our wish for innocence and ignorance—and its consequences. Aristotle claimed that “all human beings want to know.” Our own experience proves that all human beings also want not to know. Today, centuries after the Enlightenment, mesmerized crowds still follow preposterous prophets, irrational rumors trigger fanatical acts, and magical thinking crowds out common sense and expertise. Why is this? Where does this will to ignorance come from, and how does it continue to shape our lives? In Ignorance and Bliss, the acclaimed essayist and historian of ideas Mark Lilla offers an absorbing psychological diagnosis of the human will not to know. With erudition and brio, Lilla ranges from the Book of Genesis and Plato’s dialogues to Sufi parables and Sigmund Freud, revealing the paradoxes of hiding truth from ourselves. He also exposes the fantasies this impulse lead us to entertain—the illusion that the ecstasies of prophets, mystics, and holy fools offer access to esoteric truths; the illusion of children’s lamb-like innocence; and the nostalgic illusion of recapturing the glories of vanished and allegedly purer civilizations. The result is a highly original meditation that invites readers to consider their own deep-seated impulses and taboos. We want to know, we want not to know. We accept truth, we resist truth. Back and forth the mind shuttles, playing badminton with itself. But it doesn’t feel like a game. It feels as if our lives are at stake. And they are.

Satire does not reason; it batters into submission. Thus, its first purpose is realized: to overcome an unwillingness to criticize the very subjects a brainwashed populace has deemed its most sacred cows. Satire is kaleidoscopic and disjunctive: it hangs a series of moral portraits on the wall and forces us to look at them. The splendor, squalor, and complexity of the American scene and the witty, high-spirited caricature of modern philosophical schools were never more vividly presented than by Americas first vinegary satirist.Volume Two of We Anti-Matriarchalists presages the crisis toward which our civilization is moving.

“I, The Lord Jesus, speak to the inquisitive at large, speak to My people seeking answers in the truth. Bless the recipients of Grace with The Mantle of The Truth, with access to the thoroughfares implicit in a journey.” “This book brings to the attention of the majority of man – That of which he was previously unaware, breaks open the vaults of heaven, breaks open the mysteries of God, breaks open the relating of the guests. Discloses an unevenness of knowledge, Discloses a history suffering from ignorance by the many, Suffering from secrecy by the few. is destined to travel across the lands and seas of both man and God, is destined to open eyes in both fear and wonder, is destined to announce and to proclaim, leads to a discovery, leads to a confirmation, leads to the ongoing intent of God.” The validation of This Book reaches the zenith of its apex: when the original species of strangers are recognized, as the cross breeders with the humans – resulting in the producing of the Neandertals. Determines the pilots of the incoming flying laboratories, the leaders of the first migrations from the star of dominance, the investigators enabling the eventual cross-breeding, in further interbreeding of the day: long readied to receive a leapfrog in capability of intellect; which is yet to be achieved within the presented human race of man.
