Danielle Allen, a scholar and writer, makes a compelling case that safeguarding political equality is the key to creating a just society where all individuals receive the support they need to thrive. She argues that democracy is the best means of achieving justice, and that the social ideals and organizational design principles that arise from recognizing political equality and democracy as essential to human well-being offer an alternative framework for both justice and political economy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAllen identifies this transformative new framework as \"power-sharing liberalism.\" Liberalism, in its broader sense, is a philosophical commitment to a government based on rights that safeguard individuals' private lives while also empowering them to participate in governing public affairs. Power-sharing liberalism presents a novel reimagining of liberalism, grounded in the principle of full inclusion and non-domination, where no group holds a monopoly on power in politics, economy, or society. By demonstrating how we can all fully share power and responsibility across these three sectors, Allen promotes a culture of civic engagement and empowerment, unveiling the universal benefits of an effective government where all participate on equal terms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 546g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 161 x 236 x 24 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780226777092\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Danielle Allen","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44256275464442,"sku":"9780226777092","price":20.13,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1685098597014_book.jpg?v=1685194093","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/justice-by-means-of-democracy-9780226777092","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
