The review's analysis of the participatory version, drawing on Mill, Green, Rousseau, Barber, Arendt, and Dewey, states "But whereas deliberative democrats privilege communication and consensus, participatory democrats privilege action and praxis," and reports that participatory democrats understand elitism to be against democracy itself, restricting the participation of most citizens.
"But whereas deliberative democrats privilege communication and consensus, participatory democrats privilege action and praxis."
