Politische Gleichheit

Who has power and based on which institutional structures, resources, and opportunities? Could it be that in the last few decades we have forgotten, in the shadow of an abstract liberal ideal of equality, to see the concrete power relations and inequalities in our societies – and that we were therefore relatively unprepared for the new economic upheavals and right-wing populist mobilizations? Yes, says Danielle Allen, and in her book, she develops a new understanding of political equality for societies with great social and cultural diversity. A theory for the 21st century.
