"Most of Sauls non-fiction examines the loss of active citizenship and the role of personal judgment in modern Western cultures. Saul posits a lack of linear history as an important component of how laissez-faire mercantilism and technocratic bureaucracy have become rampant. He believes that the Western socio-economic system, with its current priorities, has become irrational: the system celebrates administration and process above and beyond the goals that necessitated organization in the first place. This mindset is ananthema to Saul and he shows great wit and humour in debasing its tenets. Saul linguistically disarms the ideologies of efficiency, reason and the power elite, across numerous publications and in a sweeping manner."http://www.disinfo.com/pages/dossier/id2050/pg1/
