Description
Democratic Equality presents a bold and persuasive defense of democracy as a way of making collective decisions. James Lindley Wilson argues that equality of authority is essential to relating equally as citizens, and explains why certain democratic institutions are in need of reform.
Wilson explores the importance of diverse forms of authority in democratic deliberation and electoral processes, highlighting how this authority rests equally with each citizen in a democracy. He also examines the challenges posed by wealth inequality and proposes ways to address these threats to democracy.
This book offers a roadmap for widespread institutional reform, making it an essential read for anyone interested in understanding the principles of democratic equality and how they can be applied in practice.
