The Revolt of the Public and the Crisis of Authority in the New Millennium by Martin Gurri Book Summary

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, The Revolt of the Public is now available in an updated edition, which includes an extensive analysis of Donald Trump’s improbable rise to the presidency and the electoral triumphs of Brexit. The book 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.

“All over the world, elite institutions from governments to media to academia are losing their authority and monopoly control of information to dynamic amateurs and the broader public. This book, until now only in samizdat (and Kindle) form, has been my No. 1 handout for the last several years to anyone seeking to understand this unfolding shift in power from hierarchies to networks in the age of the internet.”
—Marc Andreessen, cofounder, Netscape and Andreessen Horowitz

“We are in an open war between publics with passionate and untutored interests and elites who believe they have the right to guide those publics. Gurri asks the essential question: Can liberal representative democracy survive the rise of the public?”
—Roger Berkowitz, founder and academic director of the Hannah Arendt Center, professor of politics and human rights at Bard College

Do NOT read the “new/extra/last” chapter first. Great early insight, and a very useful perspective on our strange new digital world. When everything is scary (i.e. clickbait) we cannot function.

Frames the zeitgeist of our era perfectly. Burri explores from several angles the key challenge of our age: how do we function as a society with a hierarchical government and a networked public?

Roadmap to the current chaos. Insightful & well-tempered analysis of the current political & economic environments & the forces driving chaos. Considering the outcomes since written, his analysis appears to be spot-on.

Excellent. Speculative, but original look at current political and societal developments in the US and Europe and elsewhere. Little in terms of solutions or more precisely there is some that I didn’t believed in much.
