About this listen

In the words of economist and scholar Arnold Kling, Martin Gurri saw it coming.

Technology has categorically reversed the information balance of power between the public and the elites who manage the great hierarchical institutions of the industrial age government, political parties, the media.

The Revolt of the Public tells the story of how insurgencies, enabled by digital devices and a vast information sphere, have mobilized millions of ordinary people around the world.

Originally published in 2014, this updated edition of The Revolt of the Public includes an extensive analysis of Donald Trump's improbable rise to the presidency and the electoral triumphs of Brexit and concludes with a speculative look forward, pondering whether the current elite class can bring about a reformation of the democratic process and whether new organizing principles, adapted to a digital world, can arise out of the present political turbulence.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Amazing book even in 2021

Martin seems to give an apolitical analytical look over the past 10-15 years and help us understand how the the “fifth wave” is changing our hierarchies and institutions.

Highly recommended

Fantastic, a must read

Prescient and compelling. One of the best books I’ve listened to all year. Gurri’s diagnosis for elite failure is rivalled by few others. His analysis is cogent and clear and his prescriptions equally profound. A must read.
