In Defence of Politics

Bernard Crick

Crick argues that politics is the alternative to force, and that contempt for it clears ground for something much worse.

Why you should read this

Crick's case for politics itself, the messy business of conciliating rival interests, against both ideologists who want politics abolished and technocrats who want it replaced by administration. A core text for students of political theory rather than an argument for any particular policy.
