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.

Nice Lightweight Blanket
Color: Light Camel, Size: King(108"x90")
I bought this because my winter blanket is too heavy for the summer. I'm a hot sleeper and have to have the temperature at 68 at night because the bedroom is upstairs above a garage and it gets warm. This blanket is very soft and not thick and I don't get hot. I have a queen size bed but I bought a king size so it looks more like a bedspread. It doesn't hang down far on one side but that is the side that people don't see so that's fine. If you like a blanket on the thinner side yet still warm enough, you will like this.

Bright color & true to size
Color: Red, Size: Twin(60"x80")
I ordered red. Color was vibrant although it has a touch of Orange - not the deep red I thought I would get. Funky chemical smell when I opened it - it went away after I spread it out for a few hours. It's soft with hemmed edges. A little thin but OK for the bed I ordered it for. Price was right & I would probably order additional colors if warranted in the future. It arrived quick.

Cozy Blanket Burrito….awesome!
Color: Brown, Size: King(108"x90")
The king size chocolate brown fleece blanket has quickly become my go-to for comfort and style, making it a must-have in my home. It feels like being wrapped in a cloud—if clouds were soft, warm, and available on Amazon. LOL Seriously, the softness is so delightful and drapes perfectly over my king-sized bed, ensuring I stay warm and cozy during those chilly nights, or when my husband tries to steal the covers. Plus, the rich chocolate brown color adds a touch of sophistication to my bedroom, making it look like I've stepped straight out of a home decor magazine—if only my life were so stylish! It also cleverly hides pet hair, so I'm not living in a fur-tastic disaster zone. After multiple washes, it’s still holding up like a champ, remaining soft and pilling-free. In short, this blanket is the perfect blend of warmth and humor—it's not just a blanket; it's a lifestyle choice. Highly recommended for anyone who loves snuggling, practicality, and a bit of style—because let’s be honest, we all need a little extra warmth in life, especially when doing the classic “blanket burrito” on the couch!
