Democracy Without Politicians: Hélène Landemore

We discuss the concept of deliberative representative democracy by ordinary citizens, which means representing and being represented in turn.

Hélène's civic action toolkit recommendations are:

1. Listen and bring out the shy

2. Share power

Hélène Landemore is a political theorist and professor of political science at Yale University. Her latest book is Politics Without Politicians: The Case for Citizen Rule, a manifesto for what's possible.
