Description
Against Elections: The Case for Democracy challenges our understanding of democracy and its role in modern society. In this thought-provoking book, David Van Reybrouck argues that the original purpose of elections was to exclude the people from power, rather than to give them a voice.
The author presents a compelling case for a true democracy, one that actually works, based on studies and trials from around the world. He explores an alternative system where members of the public are appointed to positions in government through volunteering and lottery, offering a fresh perspective on how power can be distributed.
Urgent and convincing, Against Elections is a timely and thought-provoking read that challenges us to rethink our assumptions about democracy and its role in society. With its practical solutions and compelling arguments, this book is an essential read for anyone interested in politics and governance.
