KIESTama or Technopopulus?

David Ronsman: I think technopopism with the logic is very much here to stay but I don't think it's a very stable logic partly because when you politicize expertise you realize that experts can't actually tell you exactly how to do something they can only recommend certain options. The decision about which one to pick is still fundamentally a political decision and that really challenges some of the legitimacy of those who mobilize around appeals to expertise, he says. "I'm still not that convinced that we are seeing a movement beyond it yet so that's entirely possible that that would be one of the outcomes of the pandemic" next week David will join Gary Gerstle in the United States
