Description
Erica Benner's thought-provoking exploration of democracy delves into the complexities of people power and its role in shaping the world we live in.
Drawing on her own experiences in post-war Japan and post-communist Poland, Benner examines the history of self-ruling peoples, from ancient Greece to Renaissance Florence, to challenge well-worn myths of heroic triumph over tyranny.
She invites us to consider the vulnerabilities of people power and the role each of us must play in preserving democratic ideals of equality in a world of increasing competition and inequality.
