Synopsis

Democracy is a balanced system where the Executive, Judiciary, and Legislative branches must work together. This book applies control systems theory to governance, showing how democracy functions like a feedback system. Using the Proportional, Integral, and Derivative (PID) model, it mathematically demonstrates that democracy is strongest when the Executive and Legislative branches are coordinated, with their influence far exceeding that of the Judiciary.

The book also explores key democratic challenges, including corruption, media influence, political polarization, economic inequality, and the middle-income trap. A novel entropy-based approach is proposed to balance merit and equity.

Finally, it presents a forward-looking perspective on the evolution of democratic systems, offering insights for scholars, policymakers, and the general public.
