      Autor v této kontroverzní knize tvrdí, že demokracie by měla být posuzována podle svých výsledků – a ty nejsou dostatečně dobré. Stejně jako mají obžalovaní právo na spravedlivý proces, mají občané právo na kompetentní vládu. Vinou toho, jak je nastaven systém voleb politického vedení, stávají se demokracie stále častěji vládou neznalých a iracionálně rozhodujících politiků, a příliš často selhávají. Podíl na politické moci většině voličů přináší jen málo užitku. Celá řada sociálněvědních výzkumů ukazuje, že možnost politické účasti paradoxně činí nezanedbatelnou část voličů iracionálnější a zaujatější. Vzhledem k tomuto chmurnému zjištění Brennan tvrdí, že nový systém vlády, který nazývá epistokracie neboli vláda znalých, může být lepším systémem než demokracie a že je možná na čase začít s tímto nápadem experimentovat.

    • L'economista Albert O. Hirschman ha sostenuto che i cittadini delle democrazie hanno solo tre possibili risposte all'ingiustizia o al comportamento scorretto del governo: possiamo andarcene, lamentarci o conformarci. Tuttavia, Jason Brennan propone una quarta opzione: resistere. Quando i governi violano i nostri diritti, potremmo avere persino un dovere morale di farlo. Per secoli, si è creduto che dovessimo permettere al governo e ai suoi rappresentanti di agire senza interferenze, indipendentemente dal loro comportamento. Possiamo lamentarci, protestare, fare causa o votare per allontanare i funzionari, ma non possiamo reagire. Brennan sostiene che non abbiamo l'obbligo di permettere allo stato o ai suoi agenti di commettere ingiustizie. Abbiamo il diritto di reagire con atti di "disobbedienza incivile". Possiamo resistere all'arresto per violazione di leggi ingiuste, disobbedire a ordini, sabotare beni pubblici o rivelare informazioni riservate. Possiamo ingannare elettori ignoranti, irrazionali o maliziosi. Possiamo persino usare la forza in autodifesa o per difendere altri. Questo rappresenta una sfida provocatoria alle convinzioni consolidate su come i cittadini possano rispondere quando i funzionari governativi si comportano ingiustamente o abusano del loro potere.
