From leading thinker Danielle Allen, a bold and urgent articulation
of a new political philosophy: power-sharing liberalism. At a time
of great social and political turmoil, when many residents of the
leading democracies question the ability of their governments to
deal fairly and competently with serious public issues, and when
power seems more and more to rest with the wealthy few, this book
reconsiders the very foundations of democracy and justice. Scholar
and writer Danielle Allen argues that the surest path to a just
society in which all are given the support necessary to flourish is
the protection of political equality; that justice is best achieved
by means of democracy; and that the social ideals and
organizational design principles that flow from recognizing
political equality and democracy as fundamental to human well-being
provide an alternative framework not only for justice but also for
political economy. Allen identifies this paradigm-changing new
framework as "power-sharing liberalism." Liberalism more broadly is
the philosophical commitment to a government grounded in rights
that both protect people in their private lives and empower them to
help govern public life. Power-sharing liberalism offers an
innovative reconstruction of liberalism based on the principle of
full inclusion and non-domination-in which no group has a monopoly
on power-in politics, economy, and society. By showing how we all
might fully share power and responsibility across all three
sectors, Allen advances a culture of civic engagement and
empowerment, revealing the universal benefits of an effective
government in which all participate on equal terms.
