On Power

Making politics about good governance does not remove the need to deal with power. However the way power is dealt with acts as a signifier - it shows how sincere the belief in an alternative is and therefore how likely people will be to accept it. It requires balancing ends and means in creative ways. There are practical (albeit challenging) ways to do this so that, although holistic political economy aligns with an ethical approach, it does so realistically. The case is built on the long term utility and efficacy of its approach.
