Democracy in the Time of Coronavirus

The global pandemic has completely altered life as we know it in the short-term. In the long-term, a hopeful result would be openness to new political economic possibilities.

I want to make the case that another political-economic shift ought to be considered in light of the pandemic—economic democracy.
