Despite its ubiquity few outside the corridors of power are concerned with policy. We become acutely aware, however, when policy is dysfunctional. If dysfunctional why are such policies increasing in numbers anyway? Departing from well-known facts of social evolution this book explains why, and also how flawed policy is tied to political inertia and the UN’s Sustainability Agenda. If some of the challenges that the World is facing can be resolved by well-designed policy, a proposal is also made how policy makers must reason to create functional policy in line with human nature.
