Against Elections: The Case for Democracy

Van Reybrouck's arguments are provocative and make you rethink the role of voting. I'm curious about what personal or historical moments led to this perspective.

The book makes a compelling case, but I wonder how practical or desirable these alternatives are in real-world politics. Would shifting away from elections improve or complicate democracy?

The mix of case studies felt carefully chosen, but I wonder what criteria guided these selections and whether other examples might have led to different conclusions.
