| Résumé : |
back cover: "Five fundamental goals unite voters. We want a say in how we're governed, to be treated equally, a safety net when times are hard, protection from harm, and to be richer in the future. Surprisingly simple in theory. yet politics consistently fails to deliver.
The problem is that our collective goals collide with our individual self-interest, resulting in five perilous political 'traps': democracy, equality, solidarity, security and prosperity. For instance, people tend to care more about solidarity when they need it themselves, and that which makes us prosperous in the short term may impoverish us over the long haul. Drawing on examples from ancient Greece to Brexit, Why Politics Fails reveals the mechanisms behind a seemingly broken system, showing how politics doesn't have to fail but can work to make life better for everyone. Because, like it or not, politics is the best hope we have." |
