Among other points, he argues that we must abandon mass voting in favour of statistical representation. For the second edition of this impor…
Power-trading and the environment
It is not democracy, but politics that is the problem in arriving at sound common decisions in ecological matters, as in many others.

In a bold and original discussion of how and why the present system fails and what we might do to bring about genuine democracy, Burnheim offers the outline of a new kind of society, forcing us to reexamine our assumptions about the limits and possibilities of modern political systems
