History opens itself to you in this book. By following the central conflict of human history (production versus plunder), the rise and fall of human civilizations become understandable. The truth is that the battles and names that most of us learn in school are never connected to their most basic causes, and therefore never really fit together into an understandable whole. In this book, however, they do. When history comes together into a coherent story, quite a few surprises can be seen, such as the fact that the Sumerians did not create the first culture: They destroyed it. Or, that Athens did not create the Golden Age of the Greeks: They ended it. As you proceed through this engrossing narrative, you'll find some troubling facts about the modern world as well; such as the fact that the workers of the world have indeed been robbed, but not by capitalists, and that the Rule of Law actually ended two centuries ago. And then, the conclusion that Western Civilization is nearly doomed. It was never too hard to understand; they just told you the wrong story.

Production Versus Plunder

Paul Rosenberg

Vera Verba, Inc.

The Breaking Dawn begins with an attack that crashes the investment markets, brings down economic systems and divides the world. One part is dominated by mass surveillance and massive data systems: clean cities and empty minds... where everything is assured and everything is ordered. The other part is abandoned, without services, with limited communications, and shoved fifty years behind the times... but where human minds are left to find their own bearings. And from there it goes to places you've never imagined. Like the author's groundbreaking A Lodging of Wayfaring Men, this is a transformative book - it is economics, technology, theology, philosophy, social activism and derring-do, cloaked in characters whose lives you will care about; whose heart-breaks and successes you'll feel with them. While ripping the mask off power structures that struggle to control our lives, Rosenberg never takes hope from us. As hard as the journey is into true freedom and liberty, he never takes our focus off The Breaking Dawn.
