personocracy (uncountable)

  1. (politics) A more participatory form of democracy, intended to care for every person and not just the majority.
    • 1996, Bill Metcalf, William James Metcalf, Shared Visions, Shared Lives: Communal Living Around the Globe:
      Personocracy, unlike democracy, cares for each and every person and not just for the majority.
    • 2010, Hilke Kuhlman, Living Walden Two, page 154:
      The main characteristic of personocracy is that it "promotes the participation of all members in governmental decision[s]" while showing "the same concern for the individual members of our community as the Personalized System of Instruction shows for individual students".
