Our democracies are failing to prevent financial crises, energy shortages, climate change, and war--so how can we look to the future with confidence? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Jan 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In 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?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jan Zielonka\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300262620\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300262629\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/07\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.58h x 5.51w x 1.18d","brand":"Jan Zielonka","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44080004104447,"sku":"9780300262629","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a33c353a-6ad3-4787-aa7a-8de4ebf1f664.jpg?v=1685484393","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-lost-future-jan-zielonka-9780300262629","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
