Politics with the People
Book • 2018
This book explores the concept of 'directly representative democracy' as a solution to the current dissatisfaction with democratic institutions.
It presents experiments where Members of Congress engaged in online deliberative town halls with constituents, fostering more inclusive and informed discussions.
The authors argue that this approach can revitalize the relationship between citizens and their representatives, improving trust and participation in governance.
