Many argue that wisdom of the crowd prevails in democracies, but are political decisions actually reached by a clear consensus, or does angry factionalism prevent this? Does irrational mob rule cause people to gang together and lash out against the opposition? Are the majority of citizens satisfied with the political situation? This volume explores whether political organization is possible without the violence of mob rule, as well as how contemporary political events fit into this debate." 650 0 $a Group decision making. 650 0 $a Crowdsourcing. 700 1 $a Sorensen, Lita, $e editor. 830 0 $a At issue. $p Social issues. 941 $a 2 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20200319010315.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20200228010102.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FAA92DB459F711EAB0F0C54897128E48 994 $a Z0 $b HL6Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
