Around the world the foundations of democracy, freedom, civil liberties are being eroded—what can be done?

Are we living through the end of the democratic moment? While democracy once seemed the bedrock of Western societies, the past few decades have revealed a fragile reality. Once liberal countries are turning to authoritarianism, wealthy individuals and corporations are interfering with elections evermore flagrantly, and faith in democracy has plummeted among every demographic. What happened?

From gerrymandering and partisanship to corporate interference and tainted donations, A. C. Grayling reveals the forces undermining our democratic ideals and offers bold solutions. An urgent wake-up call to the risks this poses to us all, For The People reminds us why democracy remains worth fighting for.

Painting online discourse as only or very largely a sea of “lunacy and lies” and echo chambers and disinformation ignores the fact that online discourse is in fact a plethora of information both black white and grey, whereas legacy media is a single curated narrative (often biased, sometimes censored, occasionally full fabrication). In disregarding online discourse through his Boomer lens, Grayling risks undermining streams of truth (we know about truths from Gaza thanks to social media, forums and and video sharing rather than BBC and CNN) that are uncovering human rights violations and war crimes. I respect his critique of countries he has lived in that I have not - but are they one-sided? Does he interrogate his own country as harshly? An interesting part of the picture, but in this book we do not see the Whole, and not from every angle.

Appears complex but in fact reductive

Very politically one side feeding narratives which one can find anywhere online. Nothing that actually adds or educates. I used to enjoy his books

Very Disappointing
