Negative Positive
Title: A view of democracy
Review: I read this book long ago (when it was new). but more recently I came across his book "A Citizen Legislature" written with Michale Phillips. The connection is powerful...the notion that average citizens can govern themselves. His book "A Citizen Legislature" deals with converting the House of Representatives into a chamber selected by lot (known as "sortition"), instead of election. In Ecotopia he lays out a not-entirely-implausible path to an ecological future, where sortition could function well.
Is the review positive or negative?
