Anyone interested in the future of liberal democracy should read this book' ANNE APPLEBAUM SELECTED FOR BARACK OBAMA'S SUMMER READING LIST 2022 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.
