Cuáles son las cinco fallas de la política que nos impiden vivir en una sociedad más justa, igualitaria, próspera y sostenible
¿Por qué la política y sus actores siempre nos decepcionan? ¿Por qué padecemos tal grado de desafección política?

Y si el problema no son los políticos sino nuestra disonancia cognitiva: Queremos vivir en democracia, pero la voluntad popular es un mito. Anhelamos la igualdad, siempre y cuando no sea nuestra riqueza la que está en juego.
Abogamos por la solidaridad, más cuando la recibimos que cuando la damos. Exigimos más seguridad, pero no si limita nuestras libertades. Y queremos una economía próspera, pero lo que nos hace más ricos a corto plazo, nos empobrece a largo plazo.

Siempre se repite el mismo patrón: nuestro propio interés perjudica nuestra capacidad para alcanzar objetivos colectivos.
Basándose en ejemplos que abarcan desde la antigua Grecia hasta el Brexit el reputado profesor de la Universidad de Oxford demuestra cómo podemos aprender a vivir con nuestras contradicciones de forma que la política vuelva a gozar del prestigio que atesoró.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


What are the five failures of politics that prevent us from living in a more just, egalitarian, prosperous and sustainable society?
Why do politics and its actors always disappoint us? Why do we suffer from such a degree of political disaffection?

And if the problem is not politicians but our cognitive dissonance: We want to live in a democracy, but the popular will is a myth. We crave equality, as long as it's not our wealth that's at stake.
We advocate solidarity, more when we receive it than when we give it. We demand more security, but not if it limits our freedoms. And we want a thriving economy, but what makes us richer in the short term, impoverishes us in the long run.

The same pattern is always repeated: our self-interest hurts our ability to achieve collective goals.
Drawing on examples ranging from ancient Greece to Brexit, the renowned Oxford University professor demonstrates how we can learn to live with our contradictions so that politics can once again enjoy the prestige it once held.

Suction cups aren’t the best
Color: Black+Smiley Face
The suction cups don’t hold and my smiley sponge isn’t snug on the post so it sometimes falls off.

Sticks and stays in place!!
Color: Black+Smiley Face
Love love loveeee this! Took me a while to find one that actually sticks and stays in place. I've had mine for a few months now. Looks just like the photos & comes with the suction cups and an adhesive strip if you want a firmer hold. The suction cups work just fine. Would recommend 👍🏾😁

Beautiful Shelves.
Color: Brown, Size: 3Tier48in, Color: Brown, Size: 3Tier48in
Did not come with instructions but easy to assemble once you start putting together. Very sturdy and well made, real wood shelves, not too heavy but can definitely hold a decent amount of weight. The shelves themselves are rough (could have been sanded better) but where it’s for decor and not every day use, no one would ever know. I love it.

Great Looking Shelf
Color: Brown, Size: 4Tier48in, Color: Brown, Size: 4Tier48in
I love this shelf! It took two people to hang it and you definitely want to ensure you hit a stud on at least one side or 1-2 screws if mounting between studs. It is heavy but a single person can lift it, just not maneuver easily due to its dimensions. It has a ton of room and fits mini helmets nicely in my office. Where I mounted it made it difficult to an extent to install but if you are even somewhat handy, you’ll be fine. You absolutely need a stud finder to hang this shelf. Sorry, I’m married! I would buy this shelf, or versions of it, again. Very practical and useful to display autographs, housewares or decor. Last note: do not over tighten the poles. The wood is soft and the poles are light weight. They are not traditional black pipe and weigh far less.
