Jason Brennan is an American philosopher at Georgetown University who defends libertarian political theory and argues for replacing universal suffrage with epistocracy.
Brennan's Against Democracy argues that most citizens are irrational or ignorant voters (hobbits and hooligans) who make democratic outcomes worse, and that epistocracy — restricting or weighting votes by demonstrated competence — would produce better policy outcomes.
