Confined to Quarters: Q4 - Democracy
Release Date: 04/25/2020
Description: In the fourth and final part of this mini-series, Maurice argues that if we are to move towards democracy (and we haven't got there yet), what's generally unthinkingly called 'the market' can no longer be given the whip hand (with all the structural violence that implies); the Prince can have no greater standing than the pauper, the billionaire than the bar-staff; and we need to build it to last. That is, we need to pursue all the other values in this quartet - equality, nonviolence and sustainability - to move towards democracy.
