The biggest threat of our civilization is entropy – disorder –which corrodes society and its structure making it fragile. Since the second half of the 1990s the rate of entropy production in the world has doubled. At such rate, the garbage bin will be full in the next 30 to 40 years.How can democracy be saved from itself before the world reaches its critical complexity? The book proposes to institute an entropy footprint, a sort of rating, for individual citizens, and to reward them based upon the amount of disorder they dump into the system. The citizens entropy rating will allow to break the gridlock in which democracy finds itself today by rewarding 'low-entropy citizens' with the right to cast more votes during elections.
