We the People

We the People by John Buck and Sharon Villines is the first comprehensive presentation of the history and theoretical foundations of sociocracy in English-speaking authors. It includes personal narratives by the authors of their discovery of sociocracy, a history of its innovative development as a practical application by Gerard Endenburg, extensive discussion of how the principles and methods are applied in organizations, and “how to” chapters.

In addition to sample bylaws and practical guides for circle meetings, the appendices include historically significant articles:

• Frank Lester Ward, “Sociocracy”
• Kees Boeke, “Democracy as It Might Be”
• Gerard Endenburg, “Rational for a New Social Structure”

The text also includes an extensive Glossary and Bibliography.
