People so often focus on the negative aspects of politics, like
greed and corruption, but without politics we would be lost. It
frames everything we do, and it has the power to bring about real
and positive change. Politics, Andrew Gamble reminds us, defeated
slavery and secured equal rights for women and minorities. Without
savvy and principled politicians and citizens willing to engage in
political action, there would still be civil war in Ireland and
apartheid in South Africa. Closer to home, local politicians stand
up for communities and endeavour to advance the prosperity and
wellbeing of their constituents. But it hasn't always been like
this, and without good politicians we could throw it all away.
Right now humanity is in a race against itself, adjusting to new
technologies that are destabilizing democracy and creating massive
inequalities. By thinking and acting politically, Gamble argues, we
can harness the imagination and enthusiasm of people everywhere to
tackle these challenges and shape a better world.
