Beschreibung

"The Cynics In Power" explores how political cynicism has evolved from a peripheral philosophy into a calculated governing strategy that actively shapes modern democratic systems. Through meticulous research spanning 2000-2023, the book reveals how political actors deliberately exploit voter distrust, manipulate institutional gridlock, and weaponize information overload to maintain their power. This creates a destructive cycle where cynical governance produces increasingly cynical citizens, fundamentally altering democratic functionality.The book progresses through three distinct sections, beginning with the historical transformation of political skepticism into tactical cynicism, supported by real-world case studies from various democracies. It then delves into the mechanics of cynical governance, examining how leaders strategically undermine institutional norms and exploit administrative chaos. The final section addresses the broader implications for democratic stability and explores potential solutions for rebuilding institutional trust.What sets this analysis apart is its groundbreaking perspective on political cynicism as a deliberately deployed tool rather than merely a symptom of democratic decay. Drawing from diverse fields including political science, psychology, and media studies, the book offers readers practical frameworks for identifying cynical political tactics while maintaining democratic engagement. Through interviews with political strategists, policymakers, and academic experts, it provides an unprecedented look at how modern political actors systematically employ cynicism to reshape democratic institutions and public discourse.

    World politics has changed, claims Bruno Maçães. Geopolitics is no longer simply a contest to control territory: in this age of advanced technology, it has become a contest to create the territory. Great powers seek to build a world for other states to inhabit, while keeping the ability to change the rules or the state of the world when necessary. At a moment when the old concepts no longer work, this book aims to introduce a radically new theory of world politics and technology. Understood as 'world building', the most important events of our troubled times suddenly appear connected and their inner logic is revealed: technology wars between China and the United States, the pandemic, the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, and the energy transition. To conclude, Maçães considers the more distant future, when the metaverse and artificial intelligence become the world, a world the great powers must struggle to build and control.

    The Myth That Made Us exposes how false narratives—of a supposedly post-racist nation, of the self-made man, of the primacy of profit- and shareholder value-maximizing for businesses, and of minimal government interference—have been used to excuse gross inequities and to shape and sustain the US economic system that delivers them. Jeff Fuhrer argues that systemic racism continues to produce vastly disparate outcomes and that our brand of capitalism favors doing little to reduce disparities. 
     
     
     
    Rather than merely laying blame at the feet of both conservatives and liberals for aiding and abetting an unjust system, Fuhrer charts a way forward. He supplements evidence from data with insights from community voices and outlines a system that provides more equal opportunity to accumulate both human and financial capital. His key areas of focus include universal access to high-quality early childhood education; more effective use of our community college system as a pathway to stable employment; restructuring key aspects of the low-wage workplace; providing affordable housing and transit links; supporting people of color by serving as mentors, coaches, and allies; and implementing Baby Bonds and Reparations programs. Fuhrer emphasizes embracing humility, research-based approaches, and community involvement as ways to improve economic opportunity.

    —Speak with poise and clarity 
     
    —Become genuinely likable to others  
     
    —Develop an inner sense of confidence that helps us feel good about ourselves and make progress in our lives
