Reviews
"Crystal clear and utterly persuasive, this book offers a wealth of fascinating and powerful evidence that shows how deliberative mechanisms are the key to forging a new age of intergenerational justice. Essential reading for anyone who wants to be a good ancestor." Roman Krznaric, author of The Good Ancestor: How to Think Long Term in a Short-Term World "A careful, engaging look at the institutions we have so far devised to protect future generations that shows why some work and some do not and how we might blend together the best of different models. I didn't know 90% of what's in this book - and I thought I knew quite a lot." Jane Mansbridge, Harvard University

Synopsis
Our democracies repeatedly fail to safeguard the future. From pensions to pandemics, health and social care through to climate, biodiversity and emerging technologies, democracies have been unable to deliver robust policies for the long term. In this book, Graham Smith asks why. Exploring the drivers of short-termism, he considers ways of reshaping legislatures and constitutions and proposes strengthening independent offices whose overarching goals do not change at every election. More radically, Smith argues that forms of participatory and deliberative politics offer the most effective democratic response to the current political myopia, as well as a powerful means of protecting the interests of generations to come.

As someone who doesn't believe in general positive feedback to classically trained masculine musicians (masculine body angelic), it was very funny to see the case wrapped (very cleanly) in a very tight body bag plastic.
