New ways of thinking about, addressing, and innovative solutions to our democratic, economic, and ecological crises
This book offers innovative solutions to our democratic, economic, and ecological crises.
This book proposes a radical new way of thinking about our democratic future, our ecological survival, and our ways to keep economies fair. It shows that adopting upper limits to wealth and income; replacing elections with local direct democracy and legal duty involving randomly selected citizens; and replacing welfare and redistribution policies with pre-distribution and reparations promises new solutions to political apathy, discontent, manipulation, economic inequality, unfairness, unequal opportunities, and looming ecological disaster.
“This is undoubtedly an original and crucial book containing a courageous, informed and plausible argument which deals with the major crises of our time. Reiter sharply analyses the problems of our economic and political system and does not shy away from proposing radical and constructive solutions.” — Professor Dr. Aram Ziai, Heisenberg-Professor of Development and Postcolonial Studies, Executive Director Global Partnership Network, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Kassel
