Burl Minnis Challenges Long-held Beliefs About Politics, Money and Human Society in a Groundbreaking Work, Published by BookFuel
LOS ANGELES, CA, September 11, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- In a compelling new book titled World Peace, presents a bold and urgent critique of humanity's deeply entrenched ideologies, exposing how organized political and monetary systems have perpetuated cycles of conflict, inequality and human misery for over thirteen thousand years. This thought-provoking work offers not only a diagnosis but also a remarkably simple, if unsettling, solution: the global cessation of ideology itself.
Revealing the Fiction Behind Ideologies
World Peace dismantles the notion that politics and money, often seen as fundamental pillars of society, are rooted in reality. Instead, it exposes these constructs as ideologies—fictional systems made to seem "real" only through laws, rules and social consensus. Burl Minnis explains that while humans mostly reject the divisive politics ideology, they remain trapped in the all-encompassing monetary economy ideology, which everyone participates in, whether knowingly or not.
The author stresses that neither political nor economic ideologies hold any real power over reality. They are illusions perpetuated through collective belief and daily social "buffoonery," where people continue to act according to ideological rules despite the inherent contradictions and suffering these systems produce.
The Monetary Economy Ideology: Everyone's Burden
One of the book's central themes is the oppressive nature of the monetary economy ideology. It argues that money is fundamentally a fictional system—an invented tool—that has, over millennia, come to dominate human interaction and survival. From the earliest forms of accounting and trade to modern financial systems, money has been a double-edged sword: enabling human progress on one hand while enforcing repression and inequality on the other.
Burl Minnis points to the irony that humans have been caught in this system since its emergence around thirteen thousand years ago, trapped in a "race in lead boots" that hinders genuine human development and fulfillment. Unlike politics, which engages only a minority, money's ideology grips every individual on the planet, dictating access to rights like self-preservation and healthcare—things the book insists should never require payment.
A Call to Snap Out of Ideology and Join the Family of Man
Despite this bleak scenario, World Peace carries a hopeful message. The author notes that over sixty percent of humanity today already rejects political ideology and the book urges everyone to "snap out of" monetary ideology as well. Doing so would unite the species as siblings in a final iteration of humanity, offering a chance to reclaim virtues like honor, wisdom and imagination—qualities that have long been suppressed by ideology.
The book envisions a world where money no longer dictates human worth or interactions. Instead of economic competition fueled by greed, humans could live cooperatively, focusing on shared responsibility for the Earth and each other. The work calls for a global movement, including communications to international bodies like the International Criminal Court, to acknowledge the harm caused by ideological systems and to choose a date to transition beyond them.
Historical and Anthropological Evidence Supporting the Thesis
World Peace is not merely an abstract philosophical inquiry; it is grounded in anthropological and historical evidence. The book highlights how humanity thrived for over one hundred thousand years without money or political ideology, building advanced architectural structures, traversing continents and surviving catastrophic extinction events through cooperation and non-ideological social structures.
The author references ancient megalithic sites such as the Inca Highway, estimated to be over one hundred thousand years old by modern archeoastronomy, underscoring the possibility of pre-ideological societies that successfully organized themselves without the constraints of money or politics.
Ideology as a Mental Malady and the Impact on Human Rights
The book goes further, describing ideologies—especially the monetary economy ideology—as a form of mental malady that has exacerbated greed, egomania and narcissism in human society. This pathology underpins many of the systemic violations of human rights we see today.
Burl Minnis argues that paying for fundamental rights like healthcare or self-defense is a violation of human dignity and calls for legal reforms worldwide, pointing out specific examples such as the United States' Affordable Care Act's individual mandate, which coerced citizens to pay insurance premiums under threat of fines.
The work also criticizes the way political and economic systems create inequalities, privileging some people significantly over others and thereby perpetuating conflict and social division.
A Vision for a Sustainable and Cooperative Future Without Money
Beyond diagnosis, World Peace outlines a radical vision for a post-monetary world. The author argues that all human activities—work, production, social services—would continue or even thrive without the presence of money. In this vision, resources would be managed collectively, production aligned with genuine human needs rather than profit motives and social cohesion strengthened by shared ownership of the Earth's resources.
The book clarifies that while traditional accounting and receipts would remain for practical purposes such as resource tracking, the divisive and competitive elements fueling current economic systems would disappear. This shift would enable consumption driven solely by needs rather than artificially created wants or profit-driven advertising.
The Role of Corporations and Institutions in the Ideology
Interestingly, World Peace argues that corporations and non-living legal entities would remain "neutral" or even benefit from the elimination of money as a system, as transactions would balance out to a net-zero ledger, recorded "in the black." The real winners in this transition would be human beings freed from the corrosive influence of greed and monetary competition.
The book even addresses entrenched political practices like elections and voting, unpacking how these systems foster division through artificial "wedge issues" that narrow public discourse into restrictive binaries, fueling political polarization.
A Call for Global Advocacy and Legal Recognition
In sum, World Peace is both a scholarly and activist manifesto urging humanity to recognize the extinction-level risks posed by lingering ideological systems. It calls for a coordinated global effort to abolish ideologies, particularly the monetary economy system, through legal, cultural and social transformation.
The author encourages readers to participate in advocacy efforts, including contacting bodies like the ICC, to officially recognize ideology as a root cause of human rights violations and conflicts and to establish a timeline to eliminate these systems peacefully.
