James S. Fishkin
What would people say if they were really well informed? To elucidate this doubt, the Deliberative Poll®, a consultation practice developed by James Fishkin, proposes a methodology based on random sampling and citizen empowerment. He argues that it is possible to obtain a better representation of the decision to be made. “When the People Speak” exposes this point in detail and is an important arsenal for people to act critically in politics.
