Paperback. Condition: New. From the 2023 Reith lecturer Politics is failing us. This is why. 'Brilliant . . . a must-read' Daron Acemoglu, co-author of Why Nations FailWhen it comes to politics, there are five goals that voters generally agree upon. We all want a say in how we're governed, to be treated equally, a safety net whe…n times are hard, protection from harm and to be richer in the future. So, why does politics not deliver that?The problem is each of these five goals results in a political trap. For example, we all want a say in how we're governed, but it's impossible to have any true 'will of the people'. And we want to be richer tomorrow, but what makes us richer in the short run makes us poorer over the long haul.In Why Politics Fails, award-winning Oxford professor Ben Ansell draws on examples from Ancient Greece through Brexit to vividly illustrate how we can escape these traps, overcome self-interest and deliver on our collective goals. Politics seems to be broken, but this book shows how it can work for everyone.'A meticulous study of how different societies find it so difficult to achieve widely shared goals' Financial Times'Incisive and gripping' Daniel Ziblatt, co-author of How Democracies Die'Salutary reading for the world we live in now' James A. Robinson, co-author of Why Nations Fails.

Paperback. Condition: Fair. Softcover. Good binding and cover. Highlighting, marks. "Research on the economic origins of democracy and dictatorship has shifted away from the impact of growth and turned toward the question of how different patterns of growth - equal or unequal - shape regime change. This book offers a new theory…of the historical relationship between economic modernization and the emergence of democracy on a global scale, focusing on the effects of land and income inequality.".

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Cuales son las cinco fallas de la politica que nos impiden vivir en una sociedad mas justa, igualitaria, prospera y sosteniblePor que la politica y sus actores siempre nos decepcionan? Por que padecemos tal grado de desafeccion politica? Y si el problema no son los politicos sino nuestra dis…onancia cognitiva: Queremos vivir en democracia, pero la voluntad popular es un mito. Anhelamos la igualdad, siempre y cuando no sea nuestra riqueza la que esta en juego. Abogamos por la solidaridad, mas cuando la recibimos que cuando la damos. Exigimos mas seguridad, pero no si limita nuestras libertades. Y queremos una economia prospera, pero lo que nos hace mas ricos a corto plazo, nos empobrece a largo plazo.Siempre se repite el mismo patron: nuestro propio interes perjudica nuestra capacidad para alcanzar objetivos colectivos.Basandose en ejemplos que abarcan desde la antigua Grecia hasta el Brexit el reputado profesor de la Universidad de Oxford demuestra como podemos aprender a vivir con nuestras contradicciones de forma que la politica vuelva a gozar del prestigio que atesoro. ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONWhat are the five failures of politics that prevent us from living in a more just, egalitarian, prosperous and sustainable society?Why do politics and its actors always disappoint us? Why do we suffer from such a degree of political disaffection? And if the problem is not politicians but our cognitive dissonance: We want to live in a democracy, but the popular will is a myth. We crave equality, as long as it's not our wealth that's at stake. We advocate solidarity, more when we receive it than when we give it. We demand more security, but not if it limits our freedoms. And we want a thriving economy, but what makes us richer in the short term, impoverishes us in the long run.The same pattern is always repeated: our self-interest hurts our ability to achieve collective goals.Drawing on examples ranging from ancient Greece to Brexit, the renowned Oxford University professor demonstrates how we can learn to live with our contradictions so that politics can once again enjoy the prestige it once held.
