Captive of the System!

All around us are government organisations, regimes and systems that control our lives in unwanted ways. At the same time, individuals are not generally well situated to question how these systems work or to contribute to their beneficial change. The cynical world of 'Yes, Minister' is a painful reality until we first understand how the systems work - and then how to break them. This revolutionary new book shows us how to recognise and understand the patterns of control and some of the available levers of democratic change.
