Synopsis

A clear, thought-provoking look at how human nature shapes politics—and how modern science can guide better choices for everyone. This book examines why people choose how to live, and how democracy can connect that personal decision to collective institutions. It argues that a new focus on human nature can transform political thinking and policy.

In accessible chapters, the author asks how modern life’s opportunities—paired with leisure and education—should steer a fairer, more deliberate use of power. It describes the tension between individual desires and social needs, and why a conscious, shared vision matters for both national and international life. The aim is not to predict the future, but to provide a framework for thinking clearly about political design and human welfare.

• Understand what drives political action beyond pure reasoning, including habits, culture, and emotion.


• Explore how quantitative methods can illuminate the structure and functioning of political institutions.


• Learn how policy choices could better align with the real needs of workers and nonprivileged populations.


• Consider how global cooperation and shared human purpose might reshape future diplomacy and governance.

Ideal for readers of political theory and social science who want a practical, human-focused perspective on democracy, policy, and progress.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
