Against Democracy pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
Most people believe democracy is a uniquely just form of government. They believe people have the right to an equal share of political power. And they believe that political participation is good for us—it empowers us, helps us get what we want, and tends to make us smarter, more virtuous, and more caring for one another. These are some of our most cherished ideas about democracy. But, Jason Brennan says, they are all wrong.
In this trenchant book, Brennan argues that democracy should be judged by its results—and the results are not good enough. Just as defendants have a right to a fair trial, citizens have a right to competent government. But democracy is the rule of the ignorant and the irrational, and it all too often falls short. Furthermore, no one has a fundamental right to any share of political power, and exercising political power does most of us little good. On the contrary, a wide range of social science research shows that political participation and democratic deliberation actually tend to make people worse—more irrational, biased, and mean. Given this grim picture, Brennan argues that a new system of government—epistocracy, the rule of the knowledgeable—may be better than democracy, and that it’s time to experiment and find out.
A challenging critique of democracy and the first sustained defense of the rule of the knowledgeable, Against Democracy is essential reading for scholars and students of politics across the disciplines.
Jason Brennan is the Robert J. and Elizabeth Flanagan Family Associate Professor of Strategy, Economics, Ethics, and Public Policy at the McDonough School of Business at Georgetown University. He is the author of The Ethics of Voting (Princeton), Why Not Capitalism?, and Libertarianism. He is the coauthor of Markets without Limits, Compulsory Voting, and A Brief History of Liberty. He writes regularly for Bleeding Heart Libertarians, a blog.
跟風瞅一眼暢銷書。哈,可真敢講,也不怕廣大anticaptalist同行給扣上精英政治的帽子。作者今天齣瞭本學術圈找工作的書,內容犀利而態度傲慢,擺齣一副看不起傻叉學生的樣子,不齣所料被廣大師生和求職培訓專傢罵得狗血淋頭(銷路一片光明啊,嘖嘖)。

評分1、現在所實行的民主政治,是熊彼得的競爭性民主(投票民主),屬於薄弱(thin)的民主版本;2、普選製使很多能力不足者獲得對他人的支配權,因此不正義;3、更厚重(thick)的民主形式如審議式民主隻會惡化政治討論;4、保障基本自由的賢者統治要好於民主製。——問題如何讓精英自肅呢?

評分由於10000個物理學傢裏隻齣瞭一個愛因斯坦,於是得齣結論:一開始就不該讓另外那9999個人學物理。
