Selling the future: the perils of predicting global politics

In: Series in comparative politics and international studies

Abstract

In an age of uncertainty, those who can anticipate revolution, the outbreak of wars, or which states might default are much in demand. The marketplace of ideas about the future is huge, and includes 'wonks', scholars, and pundits who produce scenarios, predictions and ratings. The more opaque the future seems to be, the further the relationship between knowledge and power intensifies-especially the nexus between those who sell their expertise and those who consume it. This book analyzes today's knowledge factories to reveal how our futures are shaped by social scientists, think-tanks, and rating agencies.
