In The End of Utopia, Russell Jacoby arguably argues that the idea of politics itself is coming to an end altogether. In a political contest, he states, people compete in viewpoints for the best wave of the future. However, everyone has already settled for what they want, and only minor adjustments will be made. The world will soon, supposedly, run out of political ideas, therefore political rivalries.
Published in the year 2000 by American author and professor Russell Jacoby, The End of Utopia explores deep political ideas. Jacoby has written several books on the matter of politics, all of which have been controversial, like this one. Born in New York City, he currently teaches at the University of California, Los Angeles.
