Indie Authors Monthly Magazine For Authors and Readers discussion
I'd like some reviews for my book please - which is a 'rewrite' of democracy to make it work again, & to incorporate all we've learned about human nature since 1789. (Published last month, so you'd be more of a gamma reader.)
This book rests on these premises:
• Our daily politics is a kind of neurosis—a 'displacement activity'—substituting for the system redesign that can resolve our crises. War, inequality and environmental overshoot are insoluble within the current political framework.
• Power is deployed more adroitly, more fairly and more safely when it is dispersed.
• For a well-functioning society, we need not to swing right or left: we require a political system by which informed majorities can craft a policy mosaic.
• Our present, inefficient form of democracy is likely to be replaced by authoritarianism, which is increasingly efficient. Reinventing democracy is not only desirable: it’s a condition for its survival.
The link will explain the book pretty well, plus you will see a couple of early reviews there. Happy to send you pdf or ePUB.
Thanks!
