鈥淚f you look at the field of political philosophy, people spend about 75 per cent of their time talking about democracy and the legislature, maybe 20 per cent of their time talking about courts and the judiciary and practically no time at all talking about the executive branch of government or bureaucracy,鈥 Heath says. 鈥淧art of what I鈥檓 trying to do in the book is address this power.鈥

It is the first time Heath has won the Donner Prize, although he was shortlisted for his book, Enlightenment 2.0 in 2014.

鈥淭he last time that I was nominated, it was for a popular book that had already had a certain amount of press and a wide readership,鈥 Heath told Artsci News. 鈥淭his time, it's for a scholarly book that might otherwise have languished in obscurity.鈥
