Description

Governments have developed a convenient habit of blaming social problems on their citizens, placing too much emphasis on personal responsibility and pursuing policies to ‘nudge’ their citizens to better behaviour.  This book calls for a radical shift. It shows why responsibility for many social crises – including obesity, gun crime, homelessness, drug addiction and problem gambling – should be laid at the feet of politicians.  About the Author Keith Dowding is Distinguished Professor of Political Science and Political Philosophy at the Australian National University. Previously he was Professor of Political Science at the London School of Economics. He has published over 90 articles and 20 books including Rational Choice and Political Power (Bristol University Press, 2019).
