Citizen Knowledge: Markets, Experts, and the Infrastructure of Democracy Herzog Lisa
Many democratic societies currently struggle with issues around knowledge: fake news, distrust of experts, a fear of technocratic tendencies. How do citizens learn about politics? 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.
