„Prima editie a acestei carti a fost publicata in 2006, inainte de prabusirea financiara din 2008, alegerile lui Obama in SUA, victoria neasteptata a lui Trump in 2016, Brexit, razboiul din Siria si cresterea rapida a refugiatilor si a migrantilor din intreaga lume. In 2006, multe tari occidentale au inceput sa inregistreze o scadere a votului, identificarii partidelor si increderii politice, dar a fost prea devreme sa se spuna daca acestea au fost fluctuatii temporare sau aparitia tendintelor pe termen lung.
