FREDERICTON, New Brunswick - s4story -- In an era of deepening political polarization and economic instability, a provocative new work from Imperceptions Press seeks to dismantle the binary choice between failing unregulated capitalism and the historical pitfalls of communism.

Beyond Capitalism and Communism: The Case for Egalitarian Deliberative Democracy, authored by S. Raymond, offers a rigorous philosophical and practical framework for a global system rooted in genuine consent and shared human will.

Drawing on the foundational thought of Hobbes, Locke, and Mill, while integrating the feminist critiques of Mary Wollstonecraft, the book argues that modern neoliberalism has reduced citizens to mere economic objects. The author contends that the current global order—governed by distant financial institutions and partisan elites—is a "monstrous leviathan" that lacks true democratic legitimacy.

"We are told that the current system is the only viable option—a 'noble lie' that protects the interests of a separate ruling class," says a spokesperson for Imperceptions Press. "This book serves as a roadmap for reclaiming sovereignty through Egalitarian Deliberative Democracy."

Key concepts explored in the book include:

The End of the Professional Politician: A proposal for decentralizing power by moving decision-making into the hands of randomly selected citizen juries, modeled after the judicial systems that protect civil liberties.

Evidence-Based Governance: Shifting the focus from partisan rhetoric to rational communication, where experts, scientists, and impacted citizens provide testimony to guide policy.

Substantive Equality: A deep dive into how current global structures perpetuate the political objectification of women and the marginalized, and how to dismantle these inequities.

A New Globalization: Moving away from economic coercion toward a system of "Regionalization" and "Multiple Democracies" that respect the importance of the nation-state.

Beyond Capitalism and Communism is more than a critique; it is a call for a "benevolent aggregate"—a collective willpower that ensures the inherent dignity of every global citizen. It is essential reading for political theorists, activists, and anyone disillusioned by the current state of global affairs.
