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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46882733490334,"sku":"ADS-9798987053669","price":29.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9798987053669.jpg?v=1779861862","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9798987053669","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
