'David Jones argues that in its unceasing quest for utopian outcomes and despite the lessons of history, the liberal West, rather than continuing attachment to the institutions and culture underlying its prosperity and political freedom, is ceding sovereignty to transnational institutions with a bureaucratic style of management promising that 'big data' and 'techtopain guidance' will come up with 'rational solutions' to universal problems benefiting the whole of humanity. A brave and controversial book!' -- Barbara Ballis Lal, Emeritus Professor of Sociology, University of California, Los Angeles
