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, a leading scholar of democratic theory and practice, asks why?
