More important than you think
By Chema Quinn on March 1, 2011
Format: Hardcover
Voting is a complex subject. There are a number of democratic systems which can give different results, and encourage different behavior from parties, voters, candidates, and officeholders. Until recently, mathematical results such as Arrow's theorem made us believe that any system was doomed to fail in at least one of several important ways. That's too bad, because a bad system like plurality can doom us to bad results like complacent, corrupt two-party domination.

This book shares more recent findings which show that, using ratings or "judgement" instead of rankings or "choice", there are ways around the worst problems of Arrow's theorem. (And, judging by his review above, Kenneth Arrow himself agrees.) In particular, the eponymous voting method proposed here would be both fairer and more strategy-resistant than any system widely used today. It is also at least as simple, fair, and strategy-resistant as any alternative proposal, and better in at least one of those regards.

Better voting systems would mean healthier democracy. For instance, it's hard to imagine that a true democracy - without officials who simultaneously beholden to contributers and insulated from voters by the two-party trap - would have allowed those responsible for the current financial crisis to have profited from it instead of facing criminal charges.

This is an important issue and a groundbreaking book.
