Martin Gurri examines the relationship between abundant information, public distrust, and weakened institutional authority. He explores the gap between the power to challenge established leaders and the ability to build workable alternatives in an increasingly networked public sphere.
Why I include it
More information does not automatically produce better institutions. The Revolt of the Public is worth reading for the tension between increased access and unsettled authority.
