Join us on Thursday, April 23 from 6-7:30pm at the Lakeshore Branch for an author talk with Peter Macleod, for a hopeful, discussion on what comes next for democracy.Is it time for Democracy’s Second Act?
Democracy isn’t broken, it’s stuck. Around the world,
people are growing angry and polarized not because
they’ve stopped caring, but because democracy has
stopped evolving. The result isn’t apathy; it is a rising
sense of political futility.
In Democracy’s Second Act, Peter MacLeod and
Richard Johnson argue that the first act of democracy
anchored in voting rights and representative
government achieved extraordinary gains. Free
elections, near-universal suffrage, and the peaceful
transfer of power-reshaped societies and expanded
human freedom. But these achievements represent
the promise of democracy, not its completion.
