Most people agree democracy is in danger, but can't agree on the root causes, let alone solutions. We urgently need to turn things around. Cut through the noise and confusion of superficial partisan bickering to uncover core underlying problems with our society and how to address them.
In this eye-opening and provocative ebook, you will discover:
The Big Illusion: an unseen yet serious problem with our elections that threatens their integrity and fairness
The historical lessons and philosophical insights that can help us restore trust and legitimacy to democracy
The Mirage of Majority Rule: flaws embedded in our democratic structures that enable minority rule and how we can overcome them
The Grand Illusion of Representation: a glaring gap that leaves many without a voice that most other democracies have addressed, and how we can do better
Reforms addressing major causes of our political polarization and dysfunction
A root cause of why our democracy has become broken: our public discourse has become unproductive and distracts us from focusing on the right things
A crucial part of fixing our democracy: improving this public discourse, including the news industry and social media.
Artificial Intelligence as part of the solution, rather than leading to Big Brother in a Box
This book is not about partisan politics or conspiracy theories. It is about the fundamental principles and values that underlie our democracy and how we can uphold them in the face of today's challenges. It is about the vision of the founders, the wisdom of the critics, and the hope of the reformers. It is about how we can create a more perfect union for ourselves and future generations.
Don't be deceived by these illusions any longer. Learn how we can reclaim our power as citizens and revitalize our democracy.
