Praise for THE NEXT DEMOCRACY
"Real innovation of the political and democratic system as we know it today is an uphill battle. But if we fail to reinvent democracy, we risk losing it altogether. That's why The Next Democracy is so refreshing and thought provoking. I don't agree with all that is said, but I like how radically ambitious and intellectually creative it is. Ovacik challenges us to imagine a world where our data serves not just the capitalist machinery but, first and foremost, strengthens democracy-where citizens experience true agency through a fully transparent decision-making process."
-UFFE ELBÆK, former Member of Danish Parliament, Danish Minister and party leader and founder
"When the world feels like it's falling apart, you can either panic or start inventing. With The Next Democracy, Ovacik has the courage to do the latter. It is not easy to reimagine something as foundational as democracy, but Ovacik has created a transformative vision that offers a radically different framework for our future. His Merit Democracy concept harnesses the power of impact markets, data, and citizen participation to build governance systems that can thrive and solve today's complex challenges. I hope the world will listen. Our future may depend on it."
-ANDERS HVID, Co-founder of Dare Disrupt, Co-founder of Founders of Tomorrow
"Digitalization disrupts democracy. Beginning from this well-established observation, Ovacik takes 'the side of technology' to suggest digital solutions to democratic problems. To solve today's unprecedent challenges, Ovacik argues, we should harness digital technologies for better governance and build a data-driven marketplaces of ideas for policy proposals as well as public services. The book is refreshingly and unapologetically tech-positive, aiming to use opportunities of tech to regulate tech itself, setting out a vision for 'Merit Democracy' that is sure to spark controversy and invigorate entrenched discussions on the democratic potentials of digitalization."
-SINE NØRHOLM JUST, Professor, Artificial Intelligence, Roskilde University
"The Next Democracy jolts us out of tired thinking about politics and governance. It doesn't just point out the cracks-it offers fresh, actionable ideas and a living framework for experimentation. At the center is the bold concept of Merit Democracy-a new vision for governance that's as dynamic, transparent, and participatory as the world demands. It's not a final answer, but a powerful spark. This book got my wheels turning-and it will do the same for anyone ready to help democracy catch up with the future."
