Our democracies are failing to prevent financial crises, energy shortages, climate change, and war—so how can we look to the future with confidence?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJan Zielonka argues that it is democracy’s shortsightedness that makes politics stumble in our increasingly connected world. With our governments still confined to the borders of nation-states, defending the short-term interests of present-day voters, the consequences for future generations are dire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this incisive account, Zielonka makes a bold case for a new politics of time and space. He considers how democracy should adjust to the world of high speed, and he questions our everyday experiences as citizens: Is it acceptable for authorities and firms to monitor our whereabouts? Why is the distribution of time and space so unequal? And, most crucially, can we construct a new system of governance that will allow us to plan ahead with certainty?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47363125870828,"sku":"9780300262629","price":47.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/24624033482294.jpg?v=1772915534","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/the-lost-future-by-jan-zielonka-9780300262629","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
