From leading thinker Danielle Allen, a bold and urgent articulation of a new political philosophy: powersharing 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 wellbeing provide an alternative framework not only for justice but also for political economy. Allen identifies this paradigmchanging new framework as powersharing 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. Powersharing liberalism offers an innovative reconstruction of liberalism based on the principle of full inclusion and nondominationin which no group has a monopoly on powerin 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.
