At the end of the Second World War, fewer than one in twenty-five people living in the UK were born abroad; now it is one in seven. The history of humankind is a story of us versus them, and the project of diverse democracies is a relatively new one – it is, in other words, a great experiment.\nHow do identity groups with different ideologies and beliefs live together? Is it possible to embark on a democracy with shared values if our values are at odds?\nYascha Mounk argues that group identity is both deeply rooted and malleable. No community is beyond conciliation: groups are moving towards cooperation across the world. The Great Experiment offers a profound understanding of the problem behind all our other problems, and genuine hope for our capacity to solve it.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50307747905824,"sku":"9781526630155","price":11.04,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781526630155.jpg?v=1785214630","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/great-experiment-yascha-mounk-9781526630155","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
