10% Less Democracy
Book • 2020
In *10% Less Democracy*, Garett Jones proposes reforms to political institutions that would reduce the scope of democracy while improving policy outcomes.
He argues that certain elements of governance, such as independent central banks and longer political terms, can enhance decision-making by reducing short-term electoral pressures.
Jones draws on his experience as a Senate staffer and macroeconomist to suggest practical adjustments, including giving more weight to educated voters and involving stakeholders with long-term interests.
