Abstract: Abstract If we pause to think about it, managing politics was a far easier, indeed an immensely easier matter, say, a century ago. The increasing difficulty of politics results from many reasons. Intellectually it goes back to the late sixties, when the campus revolution brought to the fore a new democratic primitivism. However, the seeds of difficult politics are also technological and have a lot to do with video-democracy. And, in the interim, we are confronted with degenerative processes, especially an escalation of political corruption that corrupts politics itself.
