The complexity of society now far exceeds the capacity of our political system and the crises we face demand new forms of social coordination.
We believe that extraordinary progress and prosperity lie beyond our outdated systems of governance and that reshaping the fundamental architecture of human organisation is the great challenge of our time.
Model Democracy invites the greatest minds of our generation to look beyond the horizon and consider what comes next.
