I want you! (to make better political decisions)

From: Too Dumb for Democracy?

$2.30

Chapter Eight examines how we can achieve more good political decision-making that implies and requires trade-offs, since doing better takes time, attention, and other resources. It also requires that at times we focus on citizen skill-building, including making the resources. The chapter uses the Canadian system to explore the varying levels of elected officials in Canada through the municipal, provincial, and federal levels of elected representation.
