Jorge Roig on Lottocracy

In this episode, Jorge Roig, Associate Professor of Law and Director of Neighborhood Programs at Touro College Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center, discusses his article "A Quantum Congress," which was published in the Chicago-Kent Law Review. Roig begins by observing that democratic governance is failing: there is an irreconcilable tension between representative government and free speech, at least in our current system. But he proposes an alternative: lottocracy, in which representatives are selected randomly, rather than by voting. He explains why lottocracy will make corruption impossible and make government more representative. Roig is on Twitter at @ProfRoig. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
