The Disease called Politics: a 1962 essay finds new readers
Original: The Disease called Politics (1962)
Theodore Roszak's 1962 essay 'The Disease called Politics' is being read and shared again. In it, Roszak argues that treating every social problem as a question of political maneuvering is itself a kind of sickness, one that narrows how people imagine change. Readers today appear drawn to its argument that political thinking can crowd out other ways of addressing shared problems.
Why now: The essay's critique of politics-as-usual resonates amid current disillusionment with political systems.
