Democratica - Softcover
Choice is the heart of democracy, its purpose. Imaginative governance makes for the best democracy. Good government invests in constantly trying to improve choice. But choice is more than having something to choose, it also depends on the ability to choose. By the human imagination, choice can be improved and democracy strengthened. Such is the thesis underlying this book.
