* SELECTED FOR BARACK OBAMA'S SUMMER READING LIST 2022 * 'Anyone
interested in the future of liberal democracy should read this
book' ANNE APPLEBAUM ---------- One of our most important political
thinkers looks to the greatest challenge of our time: how to live
together equally and peacefully in diverse democracies. It's easy
to be pessimistic about the fate of democracy in multi-ethnic
societies. At the end of the Second World War, fewer than one in
twenty-five people living in the UK were born abroad; now it is one
in seven. The history of humankind is a story of us versus them,
and the project of diverse democracies is a relatively new one - it
is, in other words, a great experiment. How do identity groups with
different ideologies and beliefs live together? Is it possible to
embark on a democracy with shared values if our values are at odds?
Yascha Mounk argues that group identity is both deeply rooted and
malleable. No community is beyond conciliation: groups are moving
towards cooperation across the world. The Great Experiment offers a
profound understanding of the problem behind all our other
problems, and genuine hope for our capacity to solve it.
