<p>The events of 2016 - Brexit and Trump - broke the mould which shaped ideas of democracy, politics and social identity. In this book Gilad Atzmon argues that Left and Right have become indistinguishable and meaningless in the post-political universe in which we now live, and much of humanity has been reduced to serving the interests of big money and oligarchies. The freedom to think openly is now just a distant memory. Our Western liberal 'utopia' has turned into an Orwellian catastrophe, and the people are left bewildered and impoverished, and out in the cold. Being in Time is a courageous attempt to grasp the intellectual developments that led towards the current dystopia. The book delves into the bankruptcy of the ideological grand narratives. It explores the colossal failure of the media, academia and politics to detect and address the events that led us towards destitution. It identifies the ideologies that have planted Identitarian politics and the tyranny of political correctness in our midst. We, the people, have been demoted into mere audience in a Greek tragedy that happens to be the story of our own destruction. The time is ripe to understand it all.</p>

In the intervening years, no "peace plan" has come near to rectifying the injustice done to the Palestinians. So far, the only solutions Israel has even considered have required the 12 million Palestinians in the world to accept a state in approximately 22% of their ancestral land.  In this important book, Karl Sabbagh gives a simple account of a solution that is increasingly discussed, as the Two State Solution disappears into the dustbin of history.  One democratic state between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean, with equal rights for all its citizens, would be the fairest solution for all inhabitants of Palestine and Israel. What is more, Sabbagh describes how a major stumbling block in past peace negotiations"€"the right of ret
