HOW TO SOLVE THE WORLD’S TRICKIEST POLITICAL PROBLEMS?
In _Reframe_, Eric Knight explains how a change of focus can reveal a
solution that was lying just outside your frame of vision. From
terrorism to global warming, from border security to high finance, he
brings a new perspective that is both exhilarating and useful.
Why can’t we eliminate terrorism by killing terrorists?
Why can’t we learn anything about climate change by talking about
the weather?
Why can’t we resolve immigration tensions by building higher fences?
And what do fishermen in Turkey have to teach us about international
relations?
This is an optimistic, lucid and original book by a brilliant young
Australian thinker.
‘An original and vital contribution to understanding politics.’
—Matt Ridley, author of _The Rational Optimist_
‘This is one of those books that’s exciting if you agree with it,
but even more exciting if you don’t. Eric Knight is provoking us to
consider not just what we think, but how we think.’ —Waleed Aly
‘Eric Knight asks us to apply a different lens when looking at some
of our trickiest problems. And by doing so we do indeed find new
solutions. Great insight and intriguing reading.’ —Hans-Paul
Bürkner, President and CEO, Boston Consulting Group
‘The extraordinary breadth and depth of Knight’s knowledge, and
the scale of his insights, place _Reframe_ in the rarefied company of
books like _Blink, The Black Swan_ and _Freakonomics_.’ —Lev
Grossman, senior writer, _Time Magazine_
‘Not only is it well written and entertaining, but _Reframe_ turns
conventional thinking on its head and leaves one asking, what if?’
—David Gonski AC
