What implications does that fracturing have for how we should think about politics in these new times?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this cutting-edge intervention, Duncan Kelly considers how this new geological era could shape our future by engaging with the recent past of our political thinking. If politics remains a short-term affair governed by electoral cycles, could an \u003cem\u003eAnthropocenic\u003c\/em\u003e sense of time, value, and prosperity be built into it, altering long-established views about abundance, energy, and growth? Is the Anthropocene so disruptive that it is no more than a harbinger of ecological doom, or can modern politics adapt by rethinking older debates about states, territories, and populations?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKelly rejects both pessimistic fatalism about humanity’s demise and an optimistic fatalism that makes the Anthropocene into a problem too big for politics, best left to the market or technology to solve. His skilful defence of the potential for democratic politics to negotiate this challenge is an indispensable guide to the ideas that matter most for understanding this epochal transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47431999258860,"sku":"9781509534203","price":35.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781509534203.jpg?v=1774556978"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/duncan-kelly.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
