Is there anything in common in the process of globalization, the creation of the European Union and the war in the Middle East? Why did the US and UK invade Iraq when reports of weapons of mass destruction and ties between the Iraqi regime and al-Qaeda turned out to be false? Is this really a war on terrorism, which is our main threat, or are we just delusional?Nicholas Hagger puts these events in the context of the history of the last hundred years. He puts forward a controversial and very complicated theory. From the moment of the Russian Revolution to the present day, all events are controlled by money and oil, and not by chance human actions aimed at evil and aggression, on the one hand, or at achieving freedom and democracy, on the other. Behind all these events lies someone's will, the plans of the world government. Behind this will are shady interests and organizations that undermine the integrity of nation-states and threaten to bring our world into a new, frightening era.
