Description
Democracy: A User's Guide by Joss Sheldon explores the concept of democracy and its application in various aspects of life. The author delves into different forms of democracy, including participatory budgeting, deliberative democracy, collaborative hiring, community currencies, peer-to-peer lending, and more.
Sheldon examines the history of democracy, tracing its roots back to hunter-gatherer societies, tribal confederacies, guilds, and the commons. He also visits modern-day examples, such as Summerhill school in England, Semco in Brazil, Rojava's democratic army, and Podemos' liquid democracy initiative in Spain.
The book offers a clear and concise message: that democracy does not have to be a pipe dream, but rather a tool for self-governance. With its diverse range of topics and examples, Democracy: A User's Guide provides a comprehensive guide to understanding and implementing democratic principles in everyday life.
