Manuel Arriaga’s fascinating new political study Rebooting Democracy: A Citizen’s Guide to Reinventing Politics has been receiving terrific reviews, including the following:
“A quick and easy read that makes the case for why existing political systems are inadequate and then shows examples of how to move us past those problems and toward more democratic systems. Along with many clever insights, Rebooting Democracy: A Citizen’s Guide to Reinventing Politics points the way to where democracy is heading.” – Professor John Gastil, Director of the McCourtney Institute for Democracy at Penn State University
“A short and engaging book. Written in the irreverent, outsider spirit of the Occupy protests, Rebooting Democracy: A Citizen’s Guide to Reinventing Politics goes well beyond critiquing the status quo. It discusses several ways to democratize our society. An essential ingredient of the proposals is a radical expansion of the role of juries: the book argues that having groups of randomly chosen citizens making political decisions is the core of democracy. Interesting and well-worth reading.” – Yoram Gat, founder and editor of Equality by Lot
The book was recently published by Thistle.
