The 3rd Edge: Essays On Politics and Policy

There is no more troubled occupation in today's world than being a politician, and if there is anyone that would benefit from support in decision-making it is our government representatives. The policy choices they make, and their associated funding decisions, can affect millions of people. Likewise, the policy areas they ignore, and where they refuse to spend money, can have just as significant ramifications. The pressure on each one of our elected members and senators must be enormous. I do honour them for the burdens they carry in our name.

This volume of essays is a testament to the trials of politics and public policy. They cover such wide-ranging topics as gender in politics, economic policy, internet addiction, sex education, environmental policy, lack of political trust and the difference between acting from fear and love.

While some of these essays are openly critical of current policy directions, they are done so to bring to light the missing part of the picture. They have been written to show some examples of blinkered and unbalanced views being taken by those in power and to provide an alternative and more sustainable path to prosperity. These essays are a call from one constituent to bring more care, consideration and compassion into politics and public policy.
