About this product
Product Information
One of Barack Obama's Recommended Reads for Summer "[A] brave and necessary book . . . Anyone interested in the future of liberal democracy, in the US or anywhere else, should read this book." --Anne Applebaum "A convincing, humane, and hopeful guide to the present and future by one of our foremost democratic thinkers." --George Packer From one of our sharpest political thinkers, a brilliant big-picture vision of how to bridge the bitter divides within diverse democracies Never in history has a democracy succeeded in being both diverse and equal, treating different ethnic or religious groups fairly. And yet achieving that goal is now central to the democratic project. It is, Yascha Mounk argues, the greatest experiment of our time. Drawing on history, social psychology, and comparative politics, Mounk explains why we need to create a world in which our ascriptive identities come to matter less--not because we ignore global injustices, but because we have succeeded in addressing them. The Great Experiment is that rare book that offers both a profound understanding of an urgent problem and genuine hope for our human capacity to solve it. As Mounk contends, it is up to us and the institutions we build whether we come to see each other as strangers or compatriots. Giving up on the prospect of diverse democracies is simply not an option--and that is why we must strive to realize a more ambitious vision for the future of our societies.

Reviews
"A rare thing: [an] academic treatise . . . that may actually have influence in the arena of practical politics. . . . Passionate and personal." --Joe Klein, New York Times Book Review "The fundamental argument of The Great Experiment is correct both morally and practically. Building diverse democracies is indeed hard. But, given the current composition of our societies, no alternative exists . . . A coherent and well-written call to arms."-- Martin Wolf , The Financial Times "Mounk's calm mix of storytelling, political theory and social psychology exegesis, peppered with some charming insights, has a comforting seriousness." -- Washington Post "In this brave and necessary book, Yascha Mounk honestly confronts the challenges to democracy posed by diverse, multiethnic societies, while at the same time refusing to give in to fashionable pessimism. He argues that we can and should find ways to build common ground, using good-faith patriotism to build consensus. Anyone interested in the future of liberal democracy, in the US or anywhere else, should read this book." -- Anne Applebaum, staff writer for the Atlantic and Senior Fellow, SNF Agora Institute, Johns Hopkins University " The Great Experiment confronts the intense challenges faced today by diverse societies in creating norms and institutions that allow their citizens to live peacefully with one another. It moves from insightful analysis of our current crisis to practical suggestions on how to mitigate conflicts over race and identity--a blueprint for a more optimistic future ." -- Dr. Francis Fukuyama, Director of Stanford's Ford Dorsey Master's in International Policy and author of The Demand for Dignity and the Politics of Resentment and The End of History and the Last Man "A convincing, humane, and hopeful guide to the present and future by one of our foremost democratic thinkers." -- George Packer, author of The Unwinding and Last Best Hope "Liberal democracies beat authoritarianism in the 20th century, but are growing more unstable in the 21st. In The Great Experiment , Yascha Mounk shows us our history, our psychology, our self-inflicted wounds, and our best hope for creating stable democracies that benefit from diversity. This magnificent book increases our odds of success." --J onathan Haidt, author of The Righteous Mind and professor at NYU-Stern School of Business "[A] hopeful meditation on a multicultural world . . . Writing with insight, nuance, and sympathy to all sides." -- Publishers Weekly "Can diverse democracies flourish? The Great Experiment is a bold and necessary counter-argument to nativists, populists and pessimists." -- Helen Lewis, Staff Writer, The Atlantic "There is . . . very much to admire, above all the author's outspoken and lucid defence of liberal values and his condemnation of those who advocate a politics built on group identities . . . . Mounk offers a coherent and well-written call to arms. His cause is right." -- The Financial Times
