Description

This timely work examines how power is exercised by people and institutions that voters do not directly choose, revealing the influence of bureaucracies, experts, corporations, and other unelected actors on public life. It explores the tensions between expertise and accountability, democratic ideals and practical governance, and individual freedom and institutional control. Engaging and thought-provoking, the book invites readers to look beyond elections to better understand who shapes society—and how citizens can respond.
