This tumultuous global story begins with democracy's radical core idea: We can collaborate, as equals, to determine our own lives and futures. John Keane traces how this concept emerged and evolved, from the earliest "assembly democracies" to European-style electoral democracy to our present system of "monitory democracy."

Within this essay, Orwell criticises the 'ugly and inaccurate' written English of his time and examines the connection between political orthodoxies and the debasement of language.

In the British state, intelligence does not begin with a single founding moment or a clearly defined institution. It begins instead as a tension, a contradiction embedded within the machinery of government itself. Public money is quietly allocated for secret purposes, debated in open parliamentary chambers where the very act of discussion risks undermining the thing being funded. Ministers stand to justify expenditure that cannot be fully explained, offering assurances that the work is necessary while acknowledging, sometimes indirectly, that its details must remain concealed.
