The Candidates - Étienne Ollion - Bog

Can amateurs transform politics? And what do they tell us about what politics is? This book is based on a rare social experiment. In 2017, in the aftermath of Macron's election in France, over 100 novices were elected to the French parliament. The author followed their steps during these five years. The result is a gripping story about their discovery of this peculiar world, which sheds lights on pressing contemporary debates about democratic rejuvenation.
