1. 1. In The Long Run The Future As A Political Idea

   The Future As A Political Idea

   

   This book argues that the future functions as a contested political idea that governments and institutions use to shape what counts as possible, urgent, or inevitable. Tracing how different political projects have framed long-term horizons—from economic policy and debt to environmental and social planning—it shows how appeals to the ‘long run’ can both depoliticize choices and legitimize particular distributions of risk and responsibility. The author calls for reclaiming and democratizing temporal politics so that futures are openly debated rather than managed as technical or inevitable outcomes.
