Definition
A theory created by an economics academic Glen Weyl, and yet to be put into practice, whereby for referenda or plebiscites, those wishing to vote must not only pay the state for the privilege but have the option to pay a higher amount for multiple votes, thus accommodating a greater input from those with a greater stake in the issue at hand. To prevent simple vote buying, the cost of each extra vote is not linear, but quadratic. For example, if the cost of one vote was set at a dollar, then two votes would cost the square of two, four dollars; three votes, nine dollars; four votes 16 dollars, etc. Not so much a counter to the tyranny of the majority but a counter to the tyranny of the indifferent majority.
