Description

The world can be run better. Democracy is the most effective way to take back control over decisions that impact on people's lives. However, democracy must evolve following a Global Technological Revolution, which has increased fears that global trade and immigration threaten our identity, that we face environmental ruin, and that cyber-criminals and Big Tech can do as they please, unchecked, all made worse by COVID-19.

The Rules of Democracy presents a roadmap for more accountable democracy locally, nationally, and internationally. Marcial Bragadini Bóo proposes updating rules so politicians are better held to account, public services improve, and people contribute to their communities too. New rules of democracy may help find solutions to global problems and ensure everyone is fairly represented at the decision-making table.
