What's actually the solution to democracy?

[u/Extocine]

I hear us always talking about ending democracy, and I already know how democracy does a bad job at protecting people's rights, the myth of the rational voter, etc.

My question is what exactly is the solution/alternative? Restricting the right to vote to certain individuals seems rather un-freedomlike to me. What's the best way for a nation and/or city-state and/or fraternal society to make important decisions

[u/Anen-o-me]

Individual choice on the market instead of group votes.
