- doctor_eval 3y agoHere it is: https://www.amazon.com/Unconscious-Civilization-John-Ralston-Saul/dp/0684871084 https://www.amazon.com/Unconscious-Civilization-John-Ralston... "In this intellectual tour de force John Ralston Saul argues that our society is only superficially based on the individual and democracy, and the West now toils unconsciously in the grip of a stifling “corporatist” structure that serves the needs of business managers and technocrats as it promotes the segmentation of society into competing interest groups and ethnic blocks." Published in 1999, so not quit pre-internet. But I still bought paper books back then!
