Abstract: Abstract Bruno Frey in a recent article on the future of Democracy has given us some insights about how to extend democracy. My comments on the article suggest that important deficits of democracy need to be addressed. In particular are citizens knowledgeable enough to make wise choices. The recent election of Donald Trump, as president of the US, suggests otherwise.
