Hello, I’m Max Rashbrooke.
I write about two of the biggest issues in the modern world – democratic renewal and economic inequality – and their potential to shape our societies for better or worse.
New Zealand based but globally engaged, I carry out original research and bring it to a wide public audience through my books, my collaborations with artists and data visualisation experts, and my extensive public talks.
My writing and commentary appears in outlets such as the Guardian, Prospect magazine and Radio New Zealand.
Running through everything I do is a profound belief that for societies to flourish, everyone needs their fair share of a country’s wealth and the opportunity to fully participate, as an equal, in the democratic process.
