At the end of the Second World War, fewer than one in twenty-five people living in the UK were born abroad; now it is one in seven. The history of humankind is a story of us versus them, and the project of diverse democracies is a relatively new one - it is, in other words, a great experiment.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eHow do identity groups with different ideologies and beliefs live together? Is it possible to embark on a democracy with shared values if our values are at odds?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eYascha Mounk argues that group identity is both deeply rooted and malleable. No community is beyond conciliation: groups are moving towards cooperation across the world. \u003ci\u003eThe Great Experiment\u003c\/i\u003e offers a profound understanding of the problem behind all our other problems, and genuine hope for our capacity to solve it.","brand":"Mounk, Yascha","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":42808229724345,"sku":"9781526630131","price":26.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/products\/mounk-yascha-the-great-experiment-how-to-make-diverse-democracies-work-9781526630131-33599742673081.jpg?v=1662744769","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/the-great-experiment-how-to-make-diverse-democracies-work","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
