“Crystal clear and utterly persuasive, this book offers a wealth of
fascinating and powerful evidence that shows how deliberative
mechanisms are the key to forging a new age of intergenerational
justice. Essential reading for anyone who wants to be a good
ancestor.”
Roman Krznaric, author of The Good Ancestor: How to Think Long
Term in a Short-Term World “A careful, engaging look at the
institutions we have so far devised to protect future generations
that shows why some work and some do not and how we might blend
together the best of different models. I didn’t know 90% of what’s
in this book – and I thought I knew quite a lot.”
Jane Mansbridge, Harvard University
