Against elections
Book • 2013
In 'Against Elections: The Case for Democracy', David Van Reybrouck critiques the current electoral system, arguing that it often leads to the concentration of power among elites.
He suggests sortition, or the random selection of citizens for political roles, as a means to revitalize democracy and increase citizen participation.
Drawing on historical examples and contemporary experiments, Van Reybrouck presents a compelling case for a more inclusive form of governance.
