A Model of Democracy

Ubiquity, Apr 22, 2003

Think about this: "have increasingly become more democratized. One of the big reasons for that is the so-called knowledge revolution. The individual practitioners who have specialized knowledge or talents have taken on a much larger degree of the organizational power." I have long held that a society cannot consider itself to be a democracy unless its institutions are democratic: its schools and universities, its businesses and corporations, its charities and foundations. This is beginning to happen, but we are a long way away. This interview with Brook Manville is a writer, consultant and Chief Learning Officer of Saba Software gives me hope; the pointless questions that begin about half way through take it away.
