Description: "A stirring, grounded, and scholarly case for direct democracy as the route to a more just society.  Neoliberalism has pushed capitalism to its limits, hollowing out global economies and lives in the process, while people are left with no voice.  John Asimakopoulos addresses this problem with a theory to practice model that attempts to reconcile Marxism with democratic theory and offers a vision of an egalitarian society." --Back cover.
