In a free society, power must exist, but it must also be restrained. As institutions grow more complex, understanding how authority operates becomes increasingly important.
In Our Next 250 Years: Power and Control, Charles Patton examines how modern systems translate power into control. Beyond elections and formal institutions, authority now operates through technology platforms, financial systems, administrative agencies, and regulatory structures that shape decisions and influence outcomes.
These systems can expand the reach of government and private power while making accountability harder for citizens to see and understand.
Drawing on history and institutional analysis, this book explores how power functions in modern governance and why transparency, limits, and oversight remain essential to democratic stability.
Power and Control is the second volume in the Our Next 250 Years series.
