La matematica rivista come prassi politica, e non solo come teoria, è un formidabile esercizio di democrazia: come la democrazia si fonda su un sistema di regole, crea comunità e lavora sulle relazioni. Come la democrazia, la matematica amplia ma non nega. Studiando matematica si capiscono molte cose sulla verità. Per esempio che le verità sono partecipate e pertanto i principî di autorità non esistono; che le verità sono tutte assolute ma tutte transitorie perché dipendono dall'insieme di definizione e dalle condizioni al contorno.

In 1999, Texas passed a landmark clean energy law, beginning a groundswell of new policies that promised to make the US a world leader in renewable energy. As Leah Stokes shows in Short Circuiting Policy, however, that policy did not lead to momentum in Texas, which failed to implement its solar laws or clean up its electricity system. Examining clean energy laws in Texas, Kansas, Arizona, and Ohio over 30 years Stokes argues that organized combat between advocate and opponent interest groups is central to explaining why states are not on track to address the climate crisis.
