Description
Democracy is facing a crisis. Three leading thinkers explore the erosion of its social foundations and propose a movement to address inequality, strengthen solidarity, empower citizens, and reclaim the pursuit of the public good. The authors examine how disruption, inequality, and transformation are affecting democracy's core principles, including equality, solidarity, and the idea of public good. They argue that even well-designed institutions will not integrate everyone, and that inequality and precarity exacerbate the problem. By analyzing these issues, the authors aim to locate the points of fracture in democracy and suggest paths to its renewal. This book is a call to action for those seeking to strengthen democratic systems and promote a more inclusive and equitable society.
