Description

In the Long Run: A History of the Future as a Political Idea by Jonathan White The future has long been a driving force behind politics, shaping ideologies and informing decision-making. From the birth of modern ideologies in the 19th century to the excesses of the neoliberal age, the way we envision the future has had a profound impact on our politics. In this thought-provoking history, Jonathan White explores how our understanding of the future has influenced our politics, and what this means for the future of democracy. As the world faces pressing issues such as climate collapse, pandemics, and recession, White argues that a long-term perspective may be the best way to safeguard democracy. In the Long Run offers a fresh perspective on the relationship between politics and the future, urging us to rethink our assumptions about the role of the future in shaping our politics.
