It's easy to be pessimistic about the fate of democracy in multi-ethnic societies. 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. How 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? Yascha Mounk argues that group identity is both deeply rooted and malleable. No community is beyond conciliation: groups are moving towards cooperation across the world. The Great Experiment offers a profound understanding of the problem behind all our other problems, and genuine hope for our capacity to solve it.","brand":"Bloomsbury UK","offers":[{"title":"Used - very good","offer_id":53409185792342,"sku":"9781526630148-V","price":3.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53494857531734,"sku":"9781526630148-G","price":1.69,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781526630148_1_98c8feec-8500-47de-9f2a-b4e90c9af7ad.jpg?v=1778145894","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/mounk-yascha-the-great-experiment-9781526630148","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
