A tonic for readers who are drowning in news about China, climate change and socioeconomic problems, but who are starved of alternative and critical perspectives.
Boldly refusing to follow the pack mentality of the mainstream media, and not afraid to reject the Cold War mindset, Pearls and Irritations is essential reading for those who want to make a positive difference in politics and policy-making. It is also a tonic for readers who are drowning in news about China, climate change and socioeconomic problems, but who are starved of alternative and critical perspectives.
