Degenerations of Democracy: Introduction
Manage episode 349193813 series 2300262
We kick off our Degenerations of Democracy series with an introduction to the book sharing the same title. We will keep you updated with regular installments as we work through the book and the general topic of Democracy in its current state. Below is a preview to the book stolen from the front sleeve:
Democracy is in trouble. Populism is a common scapegoat but not the root cause. More basic are social and economic transformations eroding the foundations of democracy, ruling elites trying to lock in their own privilege, and cultural perversions like making individualistic freedom the enemy of democracy’s other crucial ideals of equality and solidarity. In Degenerations of Democracy three of our most prominent intellectuals investigate democracy gone awry, locate our points of fracture, and suggest paths to democratic renewal.
