Electorates that were once divided by economics— with blue-collar workers supporting leftwing parties while the wealthy trended right—are now more likely to split along cultural lines. Campaigns have gone high-tech, hoping to turn electioneering into a science. Meanwhile, a permanent class of political consultants has emerged, with teams of pollsters, message gurus, and field operatives. Taken together, all this amounts to a silent revolution that has transformed politics across much of the globe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLeft Adrift\u003c\/em\u003e provides a new perspective on this transformation by following the lives of two political strategists who watched it unfold firsthand. Stan Greenberg and Doug Schoen were Zeligs of the international centre-left, with an eerie talent for showing up at just the right moment to see history being made. But they could not stand each other. The mutual disdain was partly a result of professional jealousy, of decades spent nursing private grievances while competing for the same clients. However, it grew out of a deeper conflict—a clash of political visions that raised fundamental questions about democracy itself. \u003cem\u003eLeft Adrift\u003c\/em\u003e is about that battle and the world it made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47486446600428,"sku":"9798987053669","price":34.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/5775b81328ed896a3e4e9fa385eb00cc.jpg?v=1775779488","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/left-adrift-by-timothy-shenk-9798987053669","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
