Democracy is future-oriented: today's problems are to be solved in tomorrow's elections. But the biggest problems in the modern world - from climate collapse to pandemics, world war and recession- have apparently left us on the edge of the irreversible. What happens to democracy when the future isn't a guarantee?
In this eye-opening and timely book, Jonathan White looks at how shifting visions of the future shape our politics - from eighteenth-century utopianism to the grand narratives of socialism and fascism. Wide in scope and sharply observed, In the Long Run is an invigorating history of the future.
