{"product_id":"left-adrift","title":"Left Adrift","description":"\u003cb\u003eA rivalry that remade the political world as we know it today\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePolitics today doesn’t look much like it did fifty years ago. Electorates that were once divided by economics—with blue-collar workers supporting leftwing parties while the wealthy trended right—are now more likely to split along cultural lines. Campaigns have gone high-tech, hoping to turn electioneering into a science. Meanwhile, a permanent class of political consultants has emerged, with teams of pollsters, message gurus, and field operatives. Taken together, all this amounts to a silent revolution that has transformed politics across much of the globe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLeft Adrift\u003c\/i\u003e provides a new perspective on this transformation by following the lives of two political strategists who watched it unfold firsthand. Stan Greenberg and Doug Schoen were Zeligs of the international center-left, with an eerie talent for showing up at just the right moment to see history being made. But they could not stand each other. The mutual disdain was, partly, a result of professional jealousy, of decades spent nursing private grievances while competing for the same clients. But it grew out of a deeper conflict, a clash of political visions that raised fundamental questions about democracy itself. \u003ci\u003eLeft Adrift\u003c\/i\u003e is about that battle—and the world it made.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57197800915326,"sku":"NW9798987053669","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9798987053669.jpg?v=1778549419","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-usa\/products\/left-adrift","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
