The Uninformed Voter

Mehr zum Buch

Examining the critical flaw in modern democracy, this book highlights how uninformed voters can inadvertently elect unqualified or corrupt candidates, perpetuating dysfunctional governance. It critiques the lack of knowledge among voters regarding candidates and key issues, often leading to decisions against their own interests. Beyond historical context, it explores proposals from political scientists and philosophers aimed at enhancing democratic engagement and emphasizing the importance of informed voting. Author Robert Levine brings extensive political journalism experience to this discussion.
