Summary: Explores how democracy and political thought are shaped by visions of the future, examining crises such as climate change, pandemics, and war, and their impact on democratic ideals. Democracy is future-oriented and self-correcting: today's problems can be solved, we are told, in tomorrow's elections. But the biggest issues facing the modern world - from climate collapse and pandemics to recession and world war - each apparently bring us to the edge of the irreversible.
