Calls for an imaginative surge to fix our battered societies,
fusing bold ideas and practical experiment. As the world confronts
the fast catastrophe of Covid and the slow calamity of climate
change, we also face a third, less visible emergency: a crisis of
imagination. We can easily picture ecological disaster or futures
dominated by technology. But we struggle to imagine a world in
which people thrive and where we improve our democracy, welfare,
neighbourhoods or education. Many are resigned to fatalism-yet they
desperately want transformational social change. This book argues
that, although the threats are real, we can use creative
imagination to achieve a better future: visualising where we want
to go and how to get there. Political and social thinker Geoff
Mulgan offers lessons we can learn from the past, and methods we
can use now to open up thinking about the future and spark action.
Drawing on social sciences, the arts, philosophy and history,
Mulgan shows how we can recharge our collective imagination. From
Socrates to Star Wars, he provides a roadmap for the future.
