Max Rashbrooke writes about two of the biggest issues in the modern world – democratic renewal and economic inequality – and their potential to shape our societies for better or worse. New Zealand based but globally engaged, he carries out original research and brings it to a wide public audience through his books, his collaborations with artists and data visualisation experts, and his extensive public talks. His TED.com talk on upgrading democracy has over 1 million views. His writing and commentary appears in outlets such as the Guardian, Prospect magazine and the Economist Intelligence Unit.

Running through everything Rashbrooke does is a profound belief that for societies to flourish, everyone needs their fair share of a country’s wealth and the opportunity to fully participate, as an equal, in the democratic process.
