The Tyranny of Rights

Brewster Kneen

4.9/5 (33490 ratings)

Description:The language of rights keeps cropping up and framing discussions: the right to food, for example; farmers' rights; intellectual property rights.Rights are talked about as if they had some moral authority, while what they are actually about is law. With the increasing presence, or even dominance, of the rights language in public life and affairs of state, substantive issues of social justice become marginalized while the language of rights masks reality and imposes a linguistic and conceptual tyranny.______________________________Brewster Kneen has spent many years working for peace and social justice in various incarnations, including farmer, organizer, researcher, writer, and broadcaster. He enjoys an international reputation as an analyst of the industrial food system. In his books, articles and lectures Kneen dissects the process that has ceded power to the corporate sector with the detachment that allows the scholar to see patterns in the big picture, and the passion that comes from intimate involvement in rural life and social movements.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
