“Moscrop is one of those most marvelous and rare things, a brilliant scholar who can synthesize history, politics, and science and explain them in a way that doesn’t make the reader feel like they’re being forced to do homework. You’ll have a much better understanding of what’s going on around you, and how to be part of the solution to the big issues facing all of us today.”
“So much of modern political debate revolves around what people are feeling. It’s nice to be reminded that deciding is the basic building block of democracy — not just for politicians, but for citizens too. If you’ve been worried lately about the state of democracy, Moscrop might just be able to help.”
“It is difficult, in the Age of Trump, not to lose faith in democracy. Moscrop, to his credit, does not avert his eyes from the magnitude of the problems that confront us. More important, however, is that he provides some serious suggestions as to where the solutions might lie.”
“Anyone keen to understand the threat to democracy and wanting to consider some important steps to creating a more inclusive society will find much food for thought in David Moscrop’s incisive primer.”
