Makia Freeman is one of the best and bravest researchers and writers who is exposing the hierarchy of control in the world. In this book, he offers a good historical understanding of that power structure, how it currently operates in its multi-tentacled ways, and how this system-of-system harms all organic Life. He goes further, offering numerous solutions, both for the big-picture (like, how decentralization minimized or even removes these harmful power structures) and on the personal level (such as doing one's inner psychological work).
I think this book is a must-read for everyone looking to comprehend not only "why" our world seems so terrible, but how it got that way, and how we can dismantle the hierarchies of control through simple acts such as withdrawing consent, rather than participate in cathartic feel-good activities like mass protests.
Even if you're not a history buff, the background provided by Makia's top-notch research is riveting and simultaneously enlightening, and the book's organization follows a natural progression of waking up to the horrors, calming ourselves down, and then examining solutions that, when activated and practiced on a regular basis, will begin to create the beautiful world we really want to live in. Reading his book is a great start!
