THE GREAT EXPERIMENT - YASCHA MOUNK KARTONIERT ...

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