[eBook] [PDF] For Citizen Knowledge Markets, Experts and the Infrastructure of Democracy 1st Edition By Lisa Herzog
Many democratic societies currently struggle with issues around knowledge: fake news, distrust of experts, a fear of technocratic tendencies. In Citizen Knowledge, Lisa Herzog discusses how knowledge, understood in a broad sense, should be dealt with in societies that combine a democratic political system with a capitalist economic system. How do citizens learn about politics? How do new scientific insights make their way into politics? What role can markets play in processing decentralized knowledge?
Herzog takes on the perspective of “democratic institutionalism,” which focuses on the institutions that enable an inclusive and stable democratic life.
