In this DLD Munich talk, Financial Times columnist and award-winning author Martin Wolf presents core ideas from his latest book, The Crisis of Democratic Capitalism.
“We’ve created far too many, far too many angry, disappointed, furious, disillusion people, and they vote for crazies”, Wolf argues – and warns his audience not to be complacent about the threat to democracy.
Wolf analyzes how the crisis of liberal democracies is related to rising inequality, declining social mobility and slowing economic growth. He warns of “disillusionment and loss of trust in the elites of our society”. And he discusses the role of media, disinformation and technology platforms.
A must-watch for anyone interested in society, politics and democracy.
