The wicked problems of our time—climate change, migration, inequality, productivity, and mental health—remain stubbornly unresolved in Western democracies. It’s time for a new way to puzzle.
This book takes the reader on a journey from London to Berlin, and from Rome to Washington DC and Copenhagen, to discover why modern politics keeps breaking down. We’re tackling twenty-first century problems with twentieth century quick fixes and nineteenth-century institutions.
“Western democracies need a serious makeover to reconnect to their roots and deliver to citizens. Read this thought-provoking, insightful, and entertaining book about how we can change democracy.”
Margrethe Vestager, former Executive Vice-President of the European Commission
“A compelling read on why so many issues facing us today feel insurmountable and an insightful guide on how democracy can evolve to overcome them.”
Steny Hoyer, Congress member (D) and former House Majority Leader in the USA
