Political criticism
Richard Posner:
"I have difficulty suppressing the uncharitable thought that there may be an element of bad faith in the deliberative-democracy movement generally...I think that what motivates many deliberative democrats is not a love of democracy or a faith in the people, but a desire to change specific political outcomes... I sense a power grab by the articulate class whose comparative advantage is—deliberation."[1]
