Richard Fisher: The Long View: Why We Need to Transform How the World Sees Time
at Les Cotils
A wide-ranging and thought-provoking exploration of the importance of long-term thinking.
In an age of ubiquitous short-termism, how do we embrace a longer perspective? In The Long View, journalist Richard Fisher explores how our sense of time can be shortened by cultural pressures and psychological habits – and how to think longer term. Embracing a longer view, he argues, is vital if we are to tackle the century's most pressing problems – but doing so can offer guidance, meaning and hope too.
In conversation with Jo Durrant.
"Immaculately researched, splendidly written and an antidote to despair." - Literary Review
"Fisher has poured a decade's worth of thinking [into the problems of short-termism] into The Long View. The result is an erudite survey of a subject he believes could decide the fate of humanity ... compelling ... I hope our political class reads and absorbs this book." - The Sunday Times
