Ash Sarkar | Minority Rule: Adventures in the Culture War
Sat 26 Apr 2025 | 2:00pm - 3:00pm


Join leading political commentator Ash Sarkar for a powerful discussion of her explosive debut Minority Rule. In this eye-opening book, Ash exposes the forces that disempower and divide us today—highlighting how elites like landlords, media barons, hedge fund managers, and CEOs profit from the chaos they create.
Ash delves into the concept of ‘minority rule,’ a term she uses to describe the irrational fear that minorities are out to oppress the majority. Through a detailed exploration, she reveals how the culture wars have been stoked by powerful interests to distract and divide society, keeping the majority in a state of fear and confusion.
Minority Rule offers a bold critique of the information overload and insecurity that define our world, showing how the manipulation of identity politics and media misdirection are keeping us from seeing what we truly have in common. Join Ash to discuss how understanding these dynamics is the first crucial step towards building a better future.
