Introduction: Why this? Why me? Why now? -- Objection one: Democracy can't work because people are too racist and sexist -- Objection two: People are too stupid for democracy -- Objection three: There's no point to democracy because people don't know what is good for them anyway -- Objection four: People are just too crazy for democracy to work -- To conclude -- Assorted Libertarian, authoritarian and explicitly elitist solutions -- Sortition : the false Democrats -- Conclusions to part two -- Five principles for transformational (but responsible) people power -- Why it's worth it -- Final words: Buckle-up Buttercup : the future is going to be interesting.
"Are 'the people' too ignorant or stupid to rule? Commentators are beginning to seriously argue that the answer might be 'yes.' In this take-no-prisoners book, Roslyn Fuller shows how many thinkers have embraced the idea that there can be 'too much democracy,' and deftly unravels their attempts to end majority rule"-- Provided by publisher.
