An Indecent System: The Dominated Citizen (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798385936496)

This book is about the System in which we live as citizens of Western societies and in
other parts of the world; that is, the capitalist system, democracy and the market
economy.
Since the beginning of this century, numerous voices have been raised and are showing
a clear discontent and great dissatisfaction with the current system and its operation in
most democratic states of the world.These manifestations of discontent and
frustration, are regularly seen in the different economic, political and social forums, and
almost daily we are reminded of this by the different demonstrations and strikes by
trade unions, social organizations, pensioners, doctors...
In short, many citizens and civil society in general, are starting get fed up, seeing that
the system is beginning to fail and that they are no longer receiving what it promised
them.
A point of such general frustration has been reached, that many citizens are asking the
following questions:
Is another system possible? Can the current system be improved?
Would it be appropriate to make certain changes in this model?

As we suggest in the title of the book, a system cannot be considered decent when it:
Reduces its citizens to nothing more than consumers
Throws millions into unemployment
Allows 1% of the population to own 45% of global wealth
Is lazy and complacent in the face of destruction and poisoning of the
environment
Allows much of that wealth to end up in tax havens
Our intention in writing this book was to provide constructive criticism through the
analysis of the different components of the system, which helps to identify the
numerous elements that we observe that do not work properly and make some
proposals that can serve to improve and transform this model; because we are
convinced that another system is possible, with collaboration and commitment of all
citizens to transform it into a decent and fairer system.
