Geopolitics of Chaos: Internationalization, Cyberculture & Political Chaos By Ignacio Ramonet. (translated from French by Andrea Lyn Sacara). New York: Aigora Publishing, 1998 ISBN: 0-9646073-9-5 $21.75 Reviewed by." Felix Stalder Facu@ oflnj~rmation Studies, Universityof Taronto. htlp://www.fis,utoronto.ca/~stalder European political journals of the left, where Ramonet serves as editor-in-chief.

Democracy is not the natural state of society, the market is." (quoted p. 81). Endlessly repeated through the mass media, from the Wall Street Journal to the CNNfn, the One Idea System brushes away social concerns as sentimental or even counter productive. Naturalized as "realism"
