With startling clarity and force, this cutting-edge book details innumerable disastrous global trends, which together result in oppression of the many by the few, the 99% by the 1%. The author, an ordained minister and long-time social justice and peace activist, draws together these many �faces of death� under the rubric of exclusionary and entrenched power, exercised by a very few people for their own benefit, locking out almost everyone else. This extraordinary power is exercised by the world�s elite through collusion by four powerful institutions: government (including the military), corporations, education, and media. Eisenhower�s frightening warning has become actualized, on steroids. Together, this �Quabal� effectively controls almost all facets of our lives, obscenely enriching the elite while impoverishing the many. Extreme and world-wide maldistribution of wealth and power have now precipitated a breaking point. Revolution against oppression is emerging, in different forms, on a global scale. Examining the history of change movements, Ransom concludes that the world�s 99% can indeed control the direction and outcome of the inevitable revolution. And he issues a surprising call for revolutionary prophetic leadership, inviting consideration of common principles upon which all peoples might begin to realize the emergence of a world of peace.
