A Political Theory of Geeks and Wonks by Jeffrey A. Tucker

A Political Theory of Geeks and Wonks by Jeffrey A. Tucker: "Part of the agenda of democracy is to turn the whole of society into a herd of wonks who believe in the process and want to make it work. But it isn't so easy to control human nature. There are always the geeks to contend with who see that the system is based on a lie and want to overturn it. Why should the majority rule the minority – or, more precisely, why should the well-organized minority rule the relatively indifferent majority? What we need is democracy 2.0 in which power and privilege are not steered but abolished altogether."
