Condition: Good. : En este revelador estudio sobre la historia de las ideas, Jonathan White investiga cómo la política ha sido dirigida durante mucho tiempo por visiones cambiantes del futuro, desde el nacimiento de las ideologías en el siglo XIX hasta el secretismo de la Guerra Fría y los excesos de la era neoliberal. El autor analiza cómo la democracia, un sistema orientado al futuro y autocorrectivo, se enfrenta a una crisis de fe cuando los grandes problemas modernos —como el colapso climático, las pandemias y las guerras mundiales— parecen llevarnos al borde de lo irreversible.White argumenta que, en un clima político definido por una sensación ineludible de desastre, el compromiso político a largo plazo puede ser la mejor manera de salvaguardar la democracia. 'In the Long Run' es una obra de gran alcance y observación aguda que insta a los ciudadanos y líderes a recuperar la capacidad de imaginar y construir un mañana nuevo, devolviendo la esperanza a las estructuras políticas actuales.
