Quantum Politics: Saving Democracy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781643882697)

Our democracy is founded upon the ideal of giving equal access to human potentialities of life, liberty, and happiness to all its citizens. Today, in Trump's America, we are far from that ideal. This book considers both the short-term problem of politics, namely erosion of values, elitism, and worldview polarization, and, of course, Trumpism and the long-term problem of how to make politics into a real science for making an equitable society. Trumpism is nothing but an extreme perversion of how politicians in general look at power today, a vehicle to aggrandize their me-centeredness. By using the quantum worldview, the quantum leaders can actually transform (that is, walk their talk) the tendency of using power for serving their own me-centeredness to the ability of using political power to empower their constituency as leaders in a democracy are expected to do. Quantum Politics uses the new science and demonstrate that democracy is the only scientific way of governing a nation. The key is to bring human values and creativity into the picture and combine the exploration of power with the exploration of love. In this way, we can integrate the values in our society with every human being.
