Current 'solutions' to unsustainability are analysed as utterly insufficient for dealing with the problems but, further than this, the book questions the very ability of democracy to deliver a sustainable future. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eDesign as Politics \u003c\/i\u003eargues that finding solutions to this problem, of which climate change is only one part, demands original and radical thinking. Rather than reverting to failed political ideologies, the book proposes a post-democratic politics.

The book does no less than position Design as a vital form of political action.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTony Fry\u003c\/b\u003e is a director of the sustainment consultancy Team D\/E\/S and Adjunct Professor of Design, Griffith University, Queensland College of Art.
