Power, Politics, and Personality: How Human Society Works?

How do societies sustain a moral consensus, and often do so while containing vast disparities in wealth? How does that moral consensus change? Who gets to govern these societies, to control the levers of political power, and with what consequences? And what determines the degree to which the rest of us participate in the choice of our political leaders? Finally, what part do our conversations play in these matters? These are the questions addressed in this book.
