Facing the Future: A New Theory of Political Representation (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780548087756)

""Facing The Future: A New Theory Of Political Representation"" is a book written by Manly P. Hall that explores the concept of political representation in a new light. The author argues that traditional forms of representation, such as elected officials and political parties, have become outdated and ineffective in addressing the needs and concerns of modern society. Instead, Hall proposes a new model of representation based on the principles of direct democracy and community participation. The book delves into the history of political representation, examining its origins in ancient Greece and tracing its evolution through various forms of government throughout history. Hall also explores the shortcomings of modern democracy, including the influence of money and special interests on the political process, and the lack of true representation for marginalized groups. Drawing on examples from around the world, Hall presents a vision for a new form of political representation that is more inclusive, participatory, and responsive to the needs of citizens. He argues that this new model can help to address some of the most pressing issues facing society today, including inequality, climate change, and the erosion of democratic norms. Overall, ""Facing The Future: A New Theory Of Political Representation"" offers a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of the challenges facing modern democracy, and presents a compelling vision for a more just and equitable society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
