A manifesto for profound and radical change, Creating Independence explores the boundaries placed on independence by human dynamics and culture. It explodes misconceptions, phoning for a deep transformation in the manner we think about democracy, equality, and our own identities. Free marketplaces, free elections, free advertising, free thought, free conversation, free will - the terminology of independence pervades our lives, framing the most urgent issues of the time and the deepest questions about who we have been and who we want to be. It really is a foundational notion at the heart of the civilization, but it has long been distorted to justify its reverse: soaring inequality, the erosion of democracy, an irrational legal justice system, and a dehumanizing overseas plan. Raoul Martinez argues that the more we understand the boundaries on our independence, the better put we have been to transcend them. Pulling together studies and ideas from neuroscience, criminology, mindset, politics, climate science, economics, and philosophy, Creating Independence constructs a radical construction to make sense of the world and empower us to improve it. That is a wide-ranging evaluation of ability, control, and independence, which asks us to question our inherited identities, question our culture, and turn the power to choose into the freedom to build.
