Brett Hennig on the Sortition Foundation - The End of Politicians
June 17th - Brett Hennig
SORTITION FOUNDATION - THE END OF POLITICIANS
You can also sign up for the entire Speaker Series here
Brett Hennig co-founded and is a director of the Sortition Foundation, which campaigns to institute the use of stratified, random selection (also called sortition) in government.
After spending several disheartening years in civil society organisations and politics, Hennig began investigating and researching network forms of democracy. The resulting book, The End of Politicians: Time for a Real Democracy, has been called "a book for visionaries" by New Internationalist contributing editor James Kelsey-Fry and was described as "a powerful critique and provocative alternative" by the late Professor Erik Olin Wright.
Hennig has given many talks promoting sortition, watch his TEDx video here.
