Why do so many of our political leaders seem unfit to govern, and why do we keep electing them anyway?
In this timely and provocative book, political author and world historian Dr. Goerdt Abel takes readers on a sweeping global and historical journey to examine how deeply flawed individuals often rise to the top of political power. From emperors and monarchs to modern populists and autocrats, Abel uncovers recurring patterns of incompetence, vanity, and moral failure that have led to war, economic collapse, and widespread suffering.
Drawing from his personal experience as a business leader during the reunification of Germany and decades of study in political history, Abel critiques current systems of governance in both democratic and authoritarian regimes. He argues that in nearly every country, political office requires fewer qualifications than even basic professions like nursing, teaching, or taxi driving.
What emerges is a forceful call for change: the introduction of formal qualification standards for political leadership, rooted in competence, ethical conduct, and long-term thinking. Through historical analysis, institutional critique, and pragmatic policy proposals, …For They Don't Know What They Are Doing challenges readers to rethink who gets to lead-and why it matters.
Essential reading for anyone interested in politics, leadership, history, or the future of democracy, this book will spark debate, provoke introspection, and inspire reform.
