Liberal Democracy and the Social Acceleration of Time

Meer over het boek

The book examines the profound effects of rapid societal acceleration on liberal democracies, particularly focusing on the traditional separation of powers. Author William Scheuerman analyzes how instantaneous communication and swift financial transactions challenge established political structures and processes. By exploring the consequences of this acceleration, the work delves into the implications for governance and democratic engagement in an age where information and influence move at unprecedented speeds.
