“This year’s Reith Lectures were full of platitudes and a reiteration of current topics in politics and society without any innovative analysis or suggested solutions. Dr Ansell uses the term “we” with abandon, and it seems to encompass everything from fellow academics to fellow voters to fellow humans in a confusing way that conflates individuals and structured polities, while obscuring the structural mechanisms that diffuse any “we” to atomised individuals and how “we” can solve the worlds problems.”
