The People Decide — Sort Of
Nathan Collins, Assistant Professor, Political Science, University of California at Irvine; former SFI Omidyar Fellow
As the 2012 presidential election approaches, Collins steps back and ask one of the biggest questions you can ask in politics: can democratic societies such as ours actually make good decisions? At every step of the way, there's a lot standing in the way of that goal, and lobbyists and campaign finance are only part of the picture. He covers the range of issues from what Americans know about politics to the challenge of group decision making to key questions about who actually gets organized. Collins adds speculation about who the next president of the United States will be — and whether it matters.
