Reviews
"""Combining impressive erudition and big-picture thinking with fluid and accessible writing, Grant Duncan makes us think, and think again, about the kind of government we should strive to have. Dodging the current zeitgeist of declinism and 'end of democracy' hypervigilance, this inspiring book offers a thoughtful analysis of what it looks and feels like for a society to be governed well."" Paul 't Hart, Professor of Public Administration, Utrecht University, Netherlands ""Grant Duncan is one of the most compelling academics working in the field today. Building on his well-received monograph How to Rule?, Duncan asks the question ‘what do we do about the obvious failings of contemporary government?’ and ultimately arrives at a set of fundamentally pro-democracy and problem-solving conclusions. This is a vital and optimistic contribution to debates around democracy and good government and should be a must read for anyone who worries about where our current politics is leading us. Highly recommended."" Charles Lees, Executive Dean of the School of Policy and Global Affairs; City, University of London, UK"
