Stakeholder Sovereignty is a provocative and meticulously argued manifesto that challenges the foundation of modern democratic systems. In an era where voting is granted universally but contribution is optional, Richard Sweeney offers a bold alternative: a system where political influence is earned through tangible investment in society—through labor, service, sacrifice, and stewardship.Blending political philosophy, historical insight, and structural design, this book lays out a vision for a tiered democratic model that rewards those who carry the weight of civilization. It is not a call to exclude—but a call to elevate, to restore meaning to citizenship, and to reclaim governance from the grasp of entitlement and apathy. For the builders, the givers, the protectors—Stakeholder Sovereignty is your quiet revolution.
