This concentrated book provides ideas about the origin, development and functioning of current democracies. It considers what we have inherited from our animal cousins and explains in terms of genetics why despotic rule cannot succeed in the long run. We need to study the details of how the great empires were run and what happened to them. The democracies of today have to deal with a number of global organizations that operate in parallel, such as the Vatican, the United Nations, and bank, media, and criminal groups. In a liberal democracy there are pressure groups that aspire to influence the decisions of the government. These include scientists and engineers that wish to pursue their projects with continued financial support. The future of democracy requires that faith be treated as an individual conviction without bearing on laws and constitution. All dynasty tendencies must be eliminated, as well as undue influence of various pressure groups. All citizens should have at least one vote, additional votes being earned by the taxes paid the preceding year.
