by Terry Bouricius (Author)
This book explains how electoral "democracy" is inherently undemocratic - enshrining rule by elites rather than popular self-rule - and argues that sortition (the use of random selection to form genuinely representative deliberative bodies) is a superior democratic alternative.
Author Biography
Terrill "Terry" Bouricius is a political theorist and recovering politician. From 1981 to 2001, he served as a City Councilor and then as a member of the Vermont House of Representatives. After a decade working on election reform internationally, his focus shifted to sortition. He has written influential journal articles on sortition, and helped found the international democracy reform organization, Democracy R&D.
