In an age of global networks and shifting authority, WHO RULES THE WORLD? offers a fearless and illuminating exploration of power in the modern era. From ancient empires to multinational corporations, from hidden financial networks to digital surveillance systems, Iftikhar Ahmad traces how rule is built, maintained, and challenged-often in plain sight. Through careful analysis, you'll discover how invisible institutions, economic structures, and even public perceptions function as real levers of control.
The book also devotes attention to enduring conspiracy narratives-not to endorse them, but to understand why they persist in shaping how societies view authority. Neither alarmist nor ideological, this work provides a map rather than a manifesto. It invites readers to see patterns often missed: the coordinates of influence, the architectures of decision, and the subtle mechanics behind governments, markets, and media.
Perfect for thinkers, policy enthusiasts, and any reader who wants to look behind the curtain, WHO RULES THE WORLD? is your guide to power in the 21st century-comprehensive, balanced, and unflinching.
