The Democracy Project — Power, Debt, and Participation (Audio)

Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world — one book at a time.This episode explores The Democracy Project by David Graeber as an examination of why modern political systems often fail to feel democratic in practice.By analyzing debt, bureaucracy, and the Occupy movement, the book reveals how participation is frequently separated from power — and why democratic experiments repeatedly reappear outside formal institutions.📺 Watch the Deep Dive and Mini Explainer on YouTube:👉 https://youtu.be/9m7dAXREIPo❤️ Support Crisis in Perception on Patreon:👉 https://patreon.com/CrisisInPerceptionAuthor Support LineIf these ideas resonate, consider reading the book yourself or borrowing it from your local library.
