But What's in it for me? is far from pessimistic. Prosser contends that recognition of self-interest makes us more self-reflective, allowing us to see humanity in adversaries and countering the influence of echo chambers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs populist parties rise and liberalism and social democracy decline, this timely intervention argues that to solve our political differences, we must first realise what we have in common.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Prosser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526152312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526152312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/12\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 5.06w x 0.46d","brand":"Thomas Prosser","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43987515179263,"sku":"9781526152312","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_39a48844-6ae7-46a6-a491-fa351b324da2.jpg?v=1683289445","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/whats-in-it-for-me-thomas-prosser-9781526152312","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
