The Alt-Right. The Rise of Populism. What in the world is going on? In this timely book, David Moscrop asks why we make irrational political decisions and whether our stone-age brains can process democracy in the information age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn an era overshadowed by income inequality, environmental catastrophes, terrorism at home and abroad, and the decline of democracy, Moscrop argues that the political decision-making process has never been more important. In fact, our survival may depend on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on both political science and psychology, Moscrop examines how our brains, our environment, the media, and institutions influence decision-making. Making good decisions is not impossible, Moscrop argues, but the psychological and political odds are sometimes stacked against us. In this readable and provocative investigation of our often-flawed decisions, Moscrop explains what's going wrong in today's political landscape and how individuals, societies, and institutions can work together to set things right.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46470474891415,"sku":"9781773100418","price":1659.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781773100418.jpg?v=1766239187","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/too-dumb-for-democracy-why-we-make-bad-political-decisions-and-how-we-can-make-better-ones-9781773100418","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
