This book, which is aimed at the younger reader, endeavours to examine what politics is about in the light of Judaeo-Christian, Liberal-Democratic and Marxist attitudes and beliefs. The authors have drawn upon not only the experiences of Britain and Western Europe but also of the United States and the Far East. At the heart of politics, the book claims, lies the problem of how men and women achieve their desires and expectations under conditions of relative scarcity when the limited resources of the moment have alternative uses. Politics, it is claimed, is about much more than government and administration, parties and elections. It embraces education, information, sciences, technology - in short, the totality of the human situation, and it is global in character.
