Unless you are a banker, by now you must have realized that politicians
don't serve your interests. Our democracies are failing us and, from
Occupy Wall Street to the riots in São Paulo, millions have taken to the
streets to voice their frustration. But is there anything we can do about it?

Rebooting Democracy: A Citizen's Guide to Reinventing Politics takes
readers on a global journey in search of solutions. From Vancouver to
Saint Petersburg, from France to Australia, we discover that there are
sensible ways to reform our democracies. As we travel the globe and
zoom in on these real-world democratic breakthroughs, we also pick up
insights from the social sciences-from key ideas in political science,
sociology and economics to the latest research in social and cognitive
psychology-that clarify why elected politicians will always fail to
represent us.

In a concise and engaging way, this book invites readers to explore
five concrete, innovative ideas that will change the way we do politics.
