Using Sortition to Solve the "Wicked Problems" w/ Hugh Pope
In the 1980s noted classicist Maurice Pope compiled a manuscript about the use of sortition as a potential reform of democracy. This manuscript was not only rejected, but feared lost. Decades later, the manuscript was discovered and edited by Maurice's son, Hugh Pope, for posthumous publication. Hugh joins Democracy Nerd to discuss the "utopian" ideas his father had decades ago regarding lottery-based democracy.
