Veel hogeropgeleiden wanen zich de elite, maar zijn dat net niet. Het zijn arbeiders met een hoog salaris en vaak een zekere mate van autonomie, maar het ontbreekt ze aan werkelijke macht. Bovendien zijn ze voortdurend bang hun klassepositie kwijt te raken. In deze aflevering verwonderen de Mediadoctoren zich over de angst voor statusval van deze net-niet elite. Dat doen we met Dylan van Rijsbergen, schrijver en mede-oprichter van Jacobin Nederland. We hebben het over manieren om naar klasse te kijken en over het verschil tussen klassen en standen. We ontleden het ideaal van meritocratie en burnout-millennials. Moeten we deze net-niet elite geruststellen of ze radicaliseren naar klassenstrijd?

Embark on an intellectual odyssey with us and our esteemed guest, Amogh Sahu, a formidable doctoral candidate at Columbia University, as we traverse a decade's worth of leftist thought and its profound transformations. Reflecting on our shared history of dialogue and discovery, we delve into the nuances of leftist influence on culture and politics, challenging the myths surrounding their impact. Through a blend of nostalgia and critique, we revisit our interviews, particularly the poignant conversation with the late Erik Olin Wright, and examine the legacies left by major Marxist figures and debates that continue to shape the contours of leftist theory and practice today.Join the conversation as we dissect power dynamics and the sense of powerlessness that pulsates through the political spectrum, scrutinizing the strategies employed by the left—from Marxist-Leninism to Modern Monetary Theory. We confront the subtle but significant contributions of leftist ideologies to societal evolution, while grappling with the fragmentation within heterodox economics and the complexities of integrating economic theories into policy-making. This episode isn't just a dialogue; it's a comprehensive examination of the evolving landscape where leftist strategies intersect with the contentious dynamics of political movements and the broader implications for American politics and society.As we wrap up our conversation, we ponder the future of U.S. politics and its intricate connections to economic and social issues, reflecting on demographic shifts and the evolving needs of the military, alongside the left's ongoing struggles to align its ideals with labor market realities. With Amog's insights, we dissect the impact of leftist thought on the elite and the paradoxical relationship between a vibrant American democracy and the seeming degradation of its political center. Tune in for a candid and in-depth exploration of the currents that shape our cultural debates, political discourse, and societal trends, as we strive to understand the promise and the pitfalls of navigating leftist ideologies and strategies.

Capitalism ruins SO many things, from key sectors like college sports all the way down to novelties like people's health and the environment. Jason, Rob, and Asher rely on their keen insight and otherworldly investigative talents to somehow unearth a few flaws of capitalism. But rather than wallow in the world of profiteering and privatization, they explore the solidarity economy and other alternatives to the "greed is good" way of running things.Warning: This podcast occasionally uses spicy language.Sources/Links/Notes:Wikipedia page “Nike and the University of Oregon”Joshua Hunt book: University of Nike: How Corporate Cash Bought American Higher Education.Erik Olin Wright, How to Be an Anticapitalist in the Twenty-First Century, Verso 2019.Thomas Piketty, Capital in the Twenty First Century, Harvard University Press 2014.Robert Heilbroner, The Worldly Philosophers: The Lives, Times and Ideas of the Great Economic Thinkers.Jeffrey Sachs, “Twentieth-Century Political Economy: A Brief History of Global Capitalism,” Oxford Review of Economic Policy, Vol. 15, No. 4.Summary of End Hedge Fund Control of American Homes ActDavid Bollier, The Commoner's Catalog for ChangemakingLobbying to defeat bills that prohibit private prisonsMore lobbying in support of private prisonsIncredible drug price increase after hedge fund manager acquires itAnnual report of Weaver Street MarketDonnie Maclurcan's explanation of not-for-profit enterprisesRanking of the world's happiest countriesBoston Ujima ProjectAlfie Kohn,  No Contest: The Case Against Competition, Houghton Mifflin, 1992.B Corps and B LabDefinition of the solidarity economy from the New Economy CoalitionSupport the Show.

The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King famously said, “Power without love is reckless and abusive, and . . . love without power is sentimental and anemic.” But many on the left seem allergic to power. This episode starts with a fundamental question: What is power?  Drawing on the influential sociologists Michael Mann and Erik Olin Wright, Stephanie and Deepak present a novel typology, identifying six forms of power and giving examples of each. Then we hear from a guest who has brilliantly analyzed right-wing strategies to build power over the past several decades: Ilyse Hogue, former president of NARAL Pro-Choice America and co-author, with Ellie Langford, of The Lie that Binds (which is also a terrific 6-part podcast). Hogue debunks the myth that the Supreme Court's 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade was the turning point in conservative organizing. In fact, she says the catalyst that activated a white, patriarchal, evangelical movement was Brown v. Board of Education, which challenged the power of churches in education. Hogue describes how in the 1970s, Phyllis Schlafly organized a mass movement to narrowly defeat the Equal Rights Amendment not, as many mistakenly believe, based on opposition to abortion but through scaremongering about women being drafted and being abandoned by husbands who would refuse to pay alimony. Schlafly's skill at recruiting footsoldiers made her a kingmaker for Ronald Reagan and, decades later, Donald Trump. Hogue concludes with an insightful analysis of the parallels between these two presidents, the lessons we can learn from right-wing successes and failures in amassing power, and the strategic opportunities the left can seize on today to widen fissures within the conservative coalition.

Heute - so eine weit verbreitete Annahme - sind doch fast alle Teil der Mittelschicht. Dass das nicht ganz so einfach ist, zeigt das Buch "Warum Klasse zählt" des 2019 verstorbenen US-Soziologen Erik Olin Wright. Der Baseler Soziologe Oliver Nachtwey hat das Nachwort zu Wrights Essay beigesteuert und argumentiert, dass dessen Diagnose der Klassengesellschaft wichtig ist, um die Ungleichheit in der Gesellschaft zu verstehen. Matthias Ubl hat mit ihm gesprochen.

Professor Étienne Balibar joins Charles Smith and Giselle Williams of Columbia's WKCR for a conversation on the critical theoretic foundations for concrete utopias. This conversation is part of the Utopia 13/13 seminars at the Columbia Center for Contemporary Critical Thought. Professor Balibar joined us for Utopia 1/13 at the Maison Française on September 28, 2022. You can find the full recording from the seminar and additional resources on the Utopia 1/13 page here: https://blogs.law.columbia.edu/utopia1313/1-13/ At the seminar, Professor Balibar presented a new paper, “Uncovering lines of escape: towards a concept of concrete utopia in the age of catastrophes." You can read the full paper in English here: https://blogs.law.columbia.edu/utopia1313/etienne-balibar-uncovering-lines-of-escape-towards-a-concept-of-concrete-utopia-in-the-age-of-catastrophes/ In his lecture, “Uncovering lines of escape: towards a concept of concrete utopia in the age of catastrophes,” the philosopher Étienne Balibar develops three dimensions of the urgency of rethinking concrete utopias in these times of crises: first, Balibar discusses the dilemmas surrounding the concept of utopia and utopian thinking, without which there could be no “radical” politics, but at a time and in an age of at least three major catastrophes (the climate, the nuclear, and the digital); second, Balibar explores “real” or “concrete” utopias in light of the Foucauldian distinction between “utopias” and “heterotopias,” which could also be interpreted as a conversion of utopia into heterotopias; third, Balibar concludes on the transcendental problems of the different modalities of the “possible,” the “impossible,” the “necessary,” the “inevitable,” in their relationship to a concept of time (e.g. Bloch's time of “not-yet”), as displaced by the questioning of “utopia” in today's catastrophic circumstances. At the seminar, Professors Balibar and Harcourt discussed Ernst Bloch, The Spirit of Utopia (1918); Michel Foucault, “Of Other Spaces: Utopias and Heterotopias” (1967/1984); Fredric Jameson, Archaeologies of the Future (2005); Marx and Engels, The Communist Manifesto (1847; Alex Williams and Nick Srnicek, Manifesto for an Accelerationist Politics (2013; Erik Olin Wright, Envisioning Real Utopias (Verso 2010); and Zapatista Army of National Liberation, Sixth Declaration of the Selva Lacandonia (2005).

Hogyan legyünk antikapitalisták a 21. században? Erik Olin Wright amerikai szociológussal, aki ezzel a címmel írt könyvet, már nem tudunk beszélgetni, 2019-ben meghalt. Utolsó könyvét Konok Péter fordította magyarra, így az ismert történésszel fordítóként beszélgettünk:Bevehetjük-e még egyetlen rohammal a Téli Palotát? Ha nem, mert már a fejünkbe (és a telefonunkba költözött), akkor hogyan küzdhetünk hatékonyan a kapitalizmus ellen? Milyen stratégiák közül választhatunk? Hogyan legózta össze a maga megfejtését Erik Olin Wright? Mivel nem győzte meg az anarchista fordítót? Van-e még elegendő időnk aláásni a kapitalizmust, hogy az szép lassan demokratius szocializmussá alakuljon át? Az Open Books kiadó "Bázis könyvek" sorozatának második kötetéről beszélgetett a két házigazda Erik Olin Wright könyvének magyarra fordítójával, Konok Péterrel.Ha tetszett az adás, kövess minket Facebookon, és oszd meg az adásainkat: https://www.facebook.com/miateendopodcastHa észrevételed, javaslatod vagy kérdésed van, írj nekünk a miateendopodcast@gmail.com címre.Ez itt a Partizán Podcast csatornája.A Partizán Podcast Facebook oldalát itt találod:https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100087436092000A Partizán oldalát és a videóit itt tudod megnézni:Youtube-on: https://www.youtube.com/c/Partiz%C3%A1nm%C3%A9diaFacebookon: https://facebook.com/partizanpolitika/Iratkozz fel a Partizán hírlevelére:https://csapat.partizanmedia.hu/forms/partizan-feliratkozasTámogasd te is a Partizán munkáját!https://csapat.partizanmedia.hu/fundraising/partizan/Extra tartalmak, vágatlan videók:https://www.patreon.com/partizanpolitika

The co-hosts welcome sociologist Gavin Rae, to discuss his critique of “Sociological Marxism,” which well-known left sociologists Erik Olin Wright and Michael Burawoy proposed two decades ago. They rejected Marx's theory of capitalist crisis, claiming that state economic management has caused capitalism to stabilize, and that the value theory underlying Marx's crisis theory is internally inconsistent. Gavin argues that the Great Recession soon showed that the notion of stable capitalism is dubious, and that the temporal single-system interpretation of Marx's value theory has made it untenable to uncritically repeat the charge of the internal inconsistency. He and the co-hosts also discuss Wright and Burawoy's embrace of Karl Polanyi's thought and his focus on markets instead of production. Gavin argues that Marx's crisis theory and the “dominance of production” can be incorporated into sociology, and he suggests several ways to do so.

I started this podcast in order to extract strategy and insight from Gramsci's writings. This Gramsci-inspired manifesto calls for a recalibration of the term “working class” per Marx's Das Kapital, Volume 1 in order to build the foundation for a renewed international working class struggle for socialism grounded on a socialist mode of production and empowerment of the working class, de-emphasizing reliance on a vanguard of revolutionaries. “Waypoint: Timenergy, critical media theory, and culture war” by Theory Pleeb https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09M8QG8B9/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_ZYBSX12JJPFGJP9VETMK Wikipedia article on “Mode of Production” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mode_of_production Economics of Fascism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economics_of_fascism Germanic People (Barbarians) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanic_peoples#Migration_Period_(ca._375–568) Merchants in the Middle Ages https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merchant#Merchants_in_the_medieval_period PDFs of Erik Olin Wright's books https://www.ssc.wisc.edu/~wright/ DSA National Political Education event with Meagan Day that discusses some overlapping content about Non-Reformist Reforms https://youtu.be/GcHMGRKNobY André Gorz's “Reform and Revolution” https://socialistregister.com/index.php/srv/article/view/5272/2173 --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/theworkingclassintelligentsia/message

Ecological economics is about socio-ecological transformation. Once we realise that current institutions, norms, and narratives must change, the overarching question remains: how can we change them? Erik Olin Wright was an American sociologist whose work on transforming into post-capitalist societies have impacted many who deal with transcending the mainstream framework. Today's guest, Ekaterina Chertkovskaya builds on Wright's ideas when drawing up what she calls a “strategic canvas for Degrowth”. In this episode, we will explore this canvas that appears in a book called Degrowth & Strategy: how to bring about social-ecological transformation coming out in June 2022.

Gibt es heute noch Utopien? Sehr wohl! Unsere Gäste haben sich sechs aktuelle Realutopien unterschiedlicher Denker:innen – von Eduard Heimann über Erik Olin Wright bis hin zu Jürgen Habermas und Harald Welzer – angesehen. Bei unsere Montagsrunde berichten Sie, was diese Ideen ausmacht und diskutieren, welche Transformationswege es für die Umsetzbarkeit der Utopien es gibt. Dabei werden u.a. Gerechtigkeits-, Partizipations- und Nachhaltigkeitsfragen aufgeworfen sowie Bezüge zu aktuellen Protestbewegungen hergestellt. Sie fragen, ob wir nicht sofort kluge Anregungen für Reformen der Sozialpolitik aus diesen Realutopien ziehen könnten? Impuls: Gisela Kubon-Gilke (Professorin für Ökonomie, Evangelischen Hochschule Darmstadt) und Remi Maier-Rigaud (Professor für Sozialpolitik, Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg) Mehr Informationen: https://jungk-bibliothek.org/ Die Rezension zum Buch "Utopien und Sozialpolitik" finden Sie hier: https://www.prozukunft.org/buecher/utopien-und-sozialpolitik

Ben Burgis talks to Jacobin's Meagan Day about Erik Olin Wright's analysis in his book Class Counts of all the different (and sometimes contradictory) class positions different people can have under capitalism, and how that analysis helps us understand the current limits of oppositional groups like DSA, the class coalitions defining the PMC-dominated Democratic Party and the Trumpified Republican Party, and how all of this can help us to understand (to tweak the title of another of Wright's books) how to be an anti-capitalist in the 2020s.Also: Ben has a new book coming out! (You can preorder it here from worker-owned Red Emmas: https://redemmas.org/titles/36536-christopher-hitchens--what-he-got-right--how-he-went-wrong--and-why-he-still-matters ) Lin Wood has accused Marjorie Taylor Greene of being a communist.

In this episode, we discuss Erik Olin Wright's 2010 book Envisioning Real Utopias. We excavate the relationship between social scientific investigation and normative claims concerning how we ought to structure our society. We ask what a theory of social transformation ought to entail and figure out why we don't live in the best of all possible worlds yet. So sit back and relax while we pour one out for a real one: Comrade Erik Olin Wright.patreon.com/leftofphilosophy | @leftofphilReferences:Erik Olin Wright, Envisioning Real Utopias, (New York: Verso, 2010).Music: Vintage Memories by Schematist | schematist.bandcamp.com

In the second part of our conversation and collaboration with the Coffee with Comrades podcast, we begin seeking out works of literature, cinema, and scholarship that might illuminate Anti-Anti-Utopian blueprints for building new worlds. As Matt remarks, it's virtually impossible to come up with a list of films that would be called utopian, but Pearson argues that you could – in fact – come up with a robust list of fiction and non-fiction texts that spell out the shape of this new genre of hope-making. A developmental syllabus of Anti-Anti-Utopian study may start with Ursula K. Le Guin's iconic and epic “ambiguous utopia,” The Dispossessed (1974), and include Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars Trilogy of novels (1992-96), as well as  nonfiction books like Erik Olin Wright's Envisioning Real Utopias (2010), Alex Williams & Nick Srnicek's Inventing the Future: Postcapitalism and a World Without Work (2015), and A Planet to Win: Why We Need a Green New Deal by Kate Aronoff, Alyssa Battistoni, Daniel Aldana Cohen, and Thea Riofrancos (2019). These visions of still imperfect, but radically more just & egalitarian worlds teach us that striving toward the utopian horizon is neither naive nor impractical, but instead all too necessary and prudent, especially now. As such, The Golden Square affirms that the decommodification of life and democratization of society are not just revolutionary goals, but in fact, the revolutionary project itself. Beyond the ceaseless academic obsessions with diagramming the corpse of our dystopian hellscape, we must chart a path outside our pyramid-shaped cages by realizing the unconditional rights to food, shelter, healthcare, and education for every person on earth – a readymade threshold separating us from the Utopian Sphere. Moving outward, Pearson, Jesse and Matt talk about the key planks that might make up the political philosophy of Anti-Anti-Utopia and how charting an emancipatory path forward requires an intersectional anti-capitalist compass magnetized to the many symbiotic, multilectical transformations necessary to abolish empire. As Matt has been fond of saying of late: “Be like an anarchist,” first and foremost.

Medelklassen är globalt på fallrepet. Vart tar en proletariserad medelklass vägen, kommer den att radikaliseras eller bli reaktionär? Som en del av diskussionen av medelklassens politiska inflytande har Barbara och John Ehrenreichs klassbegrepp Professional Managerial Class (PMC) plockats upp igen. Vilken roll har PMC-medelklassen spelat för vänsterns och välfärdsstaten historiskt? Vad är konflikterna, antagonismen och alliansmöjligheterna med arbetarklassen?

Theorists and activists argue that education is the bedrock of a democratic society. Having a well-educated citizenry is necessary for people to meet the demands required for democracies to thrive. In the United States, schooling is conceived of as one of the primary vehicles for educating these democratic citizens. For many who have gone through traditional schooling, physical education seems like an interruption in the school day, for better or for worse, a distraction from the rest of our formal learning. Physical education conjures up a flurry of competitive sports, dodgeball, and fitness tests. Perhaps it brings to mind anxieties around your own body composition and getting in shape, being physically fit or failing to become properly athletic. In part, this is the consequence of designing physical education with a narrow focus on physical literacy, control, efficiency, and a commitment to a contextless ideal. It could also be the byproduct of larger cultural forces obsessed with profit margins, results, and the bottom line. Contrary to this viewpoint, some educators and scholars are pushing to make physical education a more prominent contributor to democratic living.  Nate Babcock is an educator in Southern California. With 18 years experience, he is centered on broadening our views of physical education, approaching it as a way of encouraging mobility, physical and social, and democratic practices like cooperation, inclusion, dialogue, and collective exploration.  How might concepts such as bodyfulness, corporeality, and phenomenology inform a more democratic approach to physical education? What might a more expansive and democratic view of physical education look like? And how do we enlarge conceptions of physical fitness to include how we interact with one another beyond the gym and the classroom, and into our communities?

TMK is taking a break from our regularly scheduled analysis of the ongoing dystopia by pivoting to utopianism! In this episode, we take seriously the question: What would it mean to do utopianism in a way that doesn’t demand abandoning our commitments to materialist critique? We argue for why the anti-capitalist left must reassert its capacity for utopianism and outline some examples of “real utopias” with radical potential that are inspiring our thinking about the kind of alternatives that are imminently achievable. Our discussion builds on the analytical framework detailed by Erik Olin Wright in his work on real utopianism and anti-capitalism: • Transforming Capitalism through Real Utopias (essay) https://www.ssc.wisc.edu/~wright/Published%20writing/Presidential%20address%20--%20uncorrected%20page%20proofs.pdf • How to Be an Anticapitalist in the Twenty-First Century (book) https://www.versobooks.com/books/3065-how-to-be-an-anticapitalist-in-the-twenty-first-century Subscribe to hear more analysis and commentary in our premium episodes every week! patreon.com/thismachinekills Hosted by Jathan Sadowski (twitter.com/jathansadowski) and Edward Ongweso Jr. (twitter.com/bigblackjacobin).

For this episode, Matt & Jesse build upon their prior discussion (Episode 026) of Erik Olin Wright's posthumous book, How to Be an Anticapitalist in the 21st Century, by mapping out how we might best choreograph the dance steps in making revolution fully realized. Wright's historically magnificent project of delineating the internal contradictions of class in America (and the world over) made him the most important Marxist in Sociology post-WWII. After his mapping project of class was completed, the intellectual turned his attention in the latter half of his career to seeing how we might build real utopias in the here and now – after both the failure of statist “proletarian” parties and the success of neoliberalism's onslaught of rapacious transnational capital, where everything could be outsourced or automated, and where labor was left emaciated, fragmented, and unconscious of its own exploitation. While Wright's final work provided an excellent diagramming of the strategic logic of Eroding Capitalism, he never outlined how we might orchestrate these various movements on the playing field of global capital in order to build a symphony of revolution. Increasingly, the triumphant narrative that markets “heal the boo-boos” seems ever-less persuasive as capitalism reveals itself to be a harm-grinder against humanity and our desiccated biosphere. Matt will discuss what he argues is our most powerful anticapitalist wedge issue - money in politics, and Jesse will offer his Theory of Emancipatory Struggle along with the strategic directions of The Anticapitalist Compass. In closing, Jesse & Matt will examine how converging emancipatory movements joining in a chorus of revolution can build toward the first glimmers of The Utopian Sphere. The time has come to not only announce that “a better world is possible,” but to detail the choreography of transcending capitalism once and for all. We must make the future ourselves, collectively, and not let the future be made by an oligarchy that seeds DeathCults in its wake.   Comprehensive Show Notes Can Be Found at thefutureisamixtape.com Feel Free to Contact Jesse & Matt on the Following Spaces & Places: thefutureisamixtape@gmail.com Facebook Twitter Instagram

On this episode, Jesse and Matt dive into Erik Olin Wright's posthumous work on imagining practical utopias, entitled How to Be an Anticapitalist in the Twenty-First Century, which was published in the fall of 2019—just six months after the author's untimely death from cancer. Our co-hosts will talk about Erik Olin Wright's place in keeping the candle of socialism burning during its most bleak period: from Ronald Reagan's Mourning in AmeriKKKa—at the onset of the 1980s—to the dawn of the new millennium, when the “Battle in Seattle” signified the reformation of the Left, creating the contours for the wild new imaginings of Occupy Wall Street and the liberation struggles of a new century. Matt & Jesse will also converse briefly about Wright's highly collaborative Real Utopias Project (published by Verso Books) and his magnum opus, Envisioning Real Utopias (2010), the massive and daunting size of which moved the Marxist Sociologist to create a tighter, leaner version that would be of practical use to activists and organizers the world over. Questions to be formed and answered during the conversation: What are the merits of the author's claims? What are the weaknesses of this very important book? And finally, what are the truly transcendent aspects of Wright's ideas that deserve placement as key tracks for our mixtape of the future? As Antonio Gramsci famously said, dreamers and fighters for a better world must carry forth with a “pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will.” Less well known is Wright's gentle retort that to survive the 21st century, we will also need “a bit more optimism of the intellect” too.    Comprehensive Show Notes Can Be Found at thefutureisamixtape.com   Feel Free to Contact Jesse & Matt on the Following Spaces & Places: thefutureisamixtape@gmail.com   Facebook Twitter Instagram

The Allium is an elevated plant-based, worker cooperative restaurant focused on ethical, local, and creative food and libations in the heart of Calgary’s central Beltline community. Not only is The Allium serving up delicious drinks and dinners, but it is having a positive impact on the economy, changing the way we think about the structure of restaurants, and breaking down social stereotypes we’ve come to know. Through collective ownership, worker cooperatives help provide individuals with self-empowering work and offer an alternative to our society’s dominant paradigm about what it means to be a business owner and an employee in today’s economy. In this episode, we chatted with two dynamic individuals, Laura and Jared Blustein, co-owners and workers at The Allium. We talked about: What worker cooperatives are How The Allium differs from a ‘traditional’ restaurant What’s worked and has proved to be more challenging throughout their journey What they are most hopeful about as they look ahead   Learn More About The Allium here: https://www.theallium.ca/ For more information on cooperatives or becoming a member of The Allium, please contact info@theallium.ca.

Welcome to episode 3 in Season 3 of Real Democracy Now! a podcast. Season 3 is about elections, electoral systems, electoral reform and alternatives. In this episode I’m speaking with Professor John Gastil. John is a Professor in the Communication Arts and Sciences and Political Science at the Pennsylvania State University as well as a Senior Scholar in the McCourtney Institute for Democracy. He studies political deliberation and group decision making across a range of contexts.   Recently John and Erik Olin Wright, as part of the Real Utopias project, held a three-day workshop called Legislature by Lot. Thanks to David Schecter I was able to interview John shortly after this workshop to learn more about what was discussed. A copy of the agenda for the workshop which includes the attendees is available with the Show Notes for this episode.   John described this workshop as ‘a deliberation about deliberation’.   John spoke about the origins of the Legislature by Lot workshop [1:32] the different ways to implement sortition (random selection) [3:54] some of the arguments in favour of a legislature selected by lot [5:44] different models of sortition [7:40] responding to criticisms of legislature by lot [10:11] how to design an oversight body to support a legislature selected by lot [14:10] the prospect of institutional change and transition strategies [18:34] moving the agenda of using sortition forward [23:43] how much work is happening around the world to test and promote the use of sortition [28:35] what representation and accountability means for bodies selected by sortition [30:29] deliberation, consensus, contention and voting [34:35 and 38:50] what the workshop agreed on [43:18] what might happen after the workshop: building links between researchers and practitioners [45:34] responses to critiques of empowered mini-publics [49:35] when the book arising from the workshop will be published [53:07] John mentioned the work of the Sortition Foundation, the newDemocracy Foundation to promote the use of sortition.   Thank you for joining me today. In the next episode I will be speaking to Dr Alan Renwick about electoral reform around the world [54:11].   I hope you’ll join me then.

Welcome to episode 2 of Season 3 of Real Democracy Now! a podcast. Season 3 is looking at elections, electoral systems, electoral reform and alternatives.   In today’s episode, I’m talking with Professor Arend Lijphart about his work identifying two main categories of democracies which relate in part to their electoral systems.    Arend is a Professor Emeritus of Political Science at the University of California. His field of specialisation is comparative politics. He is the author or editor of more than a dozen books, with the two editions of his Patterns of Democracy from 1984 and 2012 being perhaps his most well-known and the subject of our conversation today.    I spoke with Professor Lijphart about    How he came to devote his life to the detailed empirical analysis of democracy in multiple countries around the world [1.10]   The relationship between his empirical work and his theory around patterns of democracy [5.30]   The variables he uses to demonstrate that consensual democracies outperform majoritarian democracies [18:35 ]   Criticisms that his approach does not apply to developing non-Western democracies [28.10]   In the next episode I’ll be talking to Professor John Gastil, a Professor in the Department of Communication Arts & Sciences at Penn State College of Liberal Arts, about a workshop he recently co-hosted with Erik Olin Wright, a Professor of Sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, titled Legislature by Lot [32.37]   I hope you’ll join me then.
