It is widely accepted in science that the universe is a closed deterministic system in which everything can, ultimately, be explained by purely physical causation. And yet we all experience ourselves as having the freedom to choose between alternatives presented to us we are in the driving seat.

Two essays, printed back to back in a single volume, offer complementary solutions to the democratic deficit in Britain and the USA.
