«Por qué fracasa la política» is Ben Ansell's essay on the five failures of politics, published by Ediciones Península in paperback (480 pages, in Spanish).
Oxford professor Ben Ansell analyses why, despite knowing what should be done to avoid disasters like the climate one, we continue on a self-destructive course. The book identifies five failures of the political system —from equality to prosperity— and shows how individual interest undermines collective goals. With examples from ancient Greece to today, the author considers how to live with these contradictions to restore politics' lost prestige.
The book's subtitle is «Las cinco fallas de nuestro sistema político y cómo evitarlas». The translation is by David Paradela López. It belongs to the Actualidad collection of Ediciones Península.
Recommended for readers interested in politics, democracy and social sciences who want to understand populism and current political disaffection.
