Erdem Ovacik is a public policy expert and serial entrepreneur who co-founded Donkey Republic, the world's first app-based bike share. In The Next Democracy, he presents the case for much-needed democratic reforms and explores a collective governance model built on markets and data that he calls "Merit Democracy". His merit-based vision is designed to improve our well-being as individuals within a free society. Ovacik explains how we can develop the next generation of thriving businesses while doing away with harmful externalities, including environmental degradation and addictive products.

The Next Democracy demonstrates how contemporary societies can assign real value to our public goods and change the way we think about valuation and budgets for public spending. It's filled with case studies, illustrations, new governance models, and frameworks that show us the path to a new way of organizing governments and societies.

Perfect for everyone with an interest in the future of society, governance, tech, politics, or economics, The Next Democracy is an incisive and groundbreaking exploration of how to solve some of today's most seemingly intractable problems. From climate change to inequality, this book contains effective and compelling prescriptions for many of the crises currently facing humanity.
