This is probably the most important article in political science of the post-war period. It argues that the theory of transient physical neo-postdistanciationalism can explain everything in need of explanation in politics and things that need no explanation at all. The theory is parsimonious yet powerful, and solves some timeless mysteries of human existence, including the theory of escalators, ball point pens, and Murphy's Law Number 283.
