       and future of information politics. 
520    "Successful democracies throughout history--from ancient 
       Athens to Britain on the cusp of the industrial age--have 
       used the technology of their time to gather information 
       for better governance. Our challenge is no different today,
       but it is more urgent because the accelerating pace of 
       technological change creates potentially enormous dangers 
       as well as benefits. Accelerating Democracy shows how to 
       adapt democracy to new information technologies that can 
       enhance political decision making and enable us to 
       navigate the social rapids ahead. John O. McGinnis 
       demonstrates how these new technologies combine to address
       a problem as old as democracy itself--how to help citizens
       better evaluate the consequences of their political 
       choices. As society became more complex in the nineteenth 
       century, social planning became a top-down enterprise 
       delegated to experts and bureaucrats. Today, technology 
       increasingly permits information to bubble up from below 
       and filter through more dispersed and competitive sources.
       McGinnis explains how to use fast-evolving information 
       technologies to more effectively analyze past public 
       policy, bring unprecedented intensity of scrutiny to 
       current policy proposals, and more accurately predict the 
       results of future policy. But he argues that we can do so 
       only if government keeps pace with technological change. 
       For instance, it must revive federalism to permit 
       different jurisdictions to test different policies so that
       their results can be evaluated, and it must legalize 
       information markets to permit people to bet on what the 
       consequences of a policy will be even before that policy 
       is implemented. Accelerating Democracy reveals how we can 
       achieve a democracy that is informed by expertise and 
       social-scientific knowledge while shedding the arrogance 
       and insularity of a technocracy."--Publisher's website.
