QR code
"The New State: Group Organization the Solution of Popular Government" by M. P. Follett is a political treatise written in the early 20th century. The work addresses the pressing political dilemmas of its time, emphasizing the inadequacies of representative democracy and advocating for a new method of governance through group organization. The book explores the dynamics of collective human relationships and how they can foster true individual expression and democratic governance. At
the start of the book, Follett outlines a vision for a reformed political system, arguing that traditional democracy has failed to live up to its potential due to its reliance on mechanical forms of organization, such as party systems and majority rule, which overlook the complexity of human relationships. He contends that genuine democracy must be rooted in the "group process," where individuals come together, influenced by one another’s ideas and experiences, to create a collective will. Through this opening section, Follett sets the stage for a more integrated and participatory approach to governance, asserting that the future of democracy depends on recognizing the interconnected nature of individuals within society.
