Description
Bloomsbury presents The Great Experiment by Yascha Mounk, read by JD Jackson.
One of our most important political thinkers looks to the greatest challenge of our time: how to live together equally and peacefully in diverse democracies.
It’s easy to be pessimistic about the fate of democracy in multi-ethnic societies. At the end of the Second World War, fewer than one in 25 people living in the UK were born abroad; now it is one in seven. The history of humankind is a story of us versus them, and the project of diverse democracies is a relatively new one—it is, in other words, a great experiment.
How do identity groups with different ideologies and beliefs live together? Is it possible to embark on a democracy with shared values if our values are at odds?
Yascha Mounk argues that group identity is both deeply rooted and malleable. No community is beyond conciliation: groups are moving towards cooperation across the world. The Great Experiment offers a profound understanding of the problem behind all our other problems, and genuine hope for our capacity to solve it.
Commentaires
"Don’t ridicule or vilify: engage and persuade—is one of the many mantras of Yascha Mounk’s extremely wide-ranging, highly readable and fascinating study of how slowly, and often falteringly, we can slowly learn better to live alongside and with each other in our ever more diverse societies. An optimistic realistic vision of the future." (Danny Dorling)
"Anyone interested in the future of liberal democracy should read this book." (Anne Applebaum)
"The Great Experiment confronts the intense challenges faced today by diverse societies in creating norms and institutions that allow their citizens to live peacefully with one another. It moves from insightful analysis of our current crisis to practical suggestions on how to mitigate conflicts over race and identity—a blueprint for a more optimistic future." (Dr. Francis Fukuyama, director of Stanford's Ford Dorsey Master's in International Policy and author of The End of History and The Last Man)
