Roger's Reviews > Rebooting Democracy: A Citizen's Guide to Reinventing Politics

"Rebooting democracy" isn't a book with a sure fire solution, it is a compelling summary of some of the biggest failures in our current system as well as showing that there is a way to do politics "better".

It is one of those books that everyone should have to read before being able to vote, not only because it points some solutions, but most of all because it instills in the reader the will to search for better organizational systems/behaviors as well as demystifies a lot of the lies ingrained in the public to protect the current system.

Manuel Arriaga makes use of an easy to understand speech, to point out some of the systemic failures of our democracies, even though some points are just slightly mentioned, it builds a clear case for everyone who doubts the stupidity of the actual organizational system of our system.

Through the book it is offered several options in which it would be possible to re-empower the people by fortifying our society through values and not by dividends (at the same time showing that every option has its flaws disregarding any delusions).

even though changing the vote system, campaigning regulations, or installing citizen's assembly, wouldn't be easy or miraculous it would certainly plant the seeds for more responsible citizenry as well as less corporate governments.
