Amazon Chart-Topping Book 'The Broken Contract', Makes Bold Case for the Need to Save Western Democracy

TORONTO, Canada, Aug. 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- A chart-topping book released this summer makes a powerful evidence-backed argument for why western governments must improve their governance practices. The very future of liberal democracy itself is at stake.

'The Broken Contract: Making Our Democracies Accountable, Representative, and Less Wasteful' has debuted as a best-seller in an era of populist backlash and angst over COVID19. 'The Broken Contract' is currently Amazon Number One Best Seller in the Politics category and near the top in several other categories in Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States (Full-charts below).

The social contract between government and citizen is at risk argues the book's author, Dr Saqib Qureshi. While political parties have become experts at winning election campaigns, they have become progressively worse at governance.

The book provides novel suggestions to improve the bureaucracies on which democracies depend. His solutions are neither left nor right-leaning in their outlook.

"A deeply personal and passionately engaged contribution to an important debate, which speaks directly to many of the core moral and political problems presented by democratic backsliding today." Peter Frankopan, Oxford University professor and author of the bestseller 'The Silk Roads: A New History of the World'.
