Are we experiencing an era of toxic politics? Lecture by Michael J. Sandel at Goethe University
In his lecture on June 6, Professor Michael J. Sandel of Harvard University addressed the growing dissatisfaction with democracy and explained how current economic practices in particular have led to upheavals and eruptions in civic and public life. According to him, the polarization that politics is suffering from today has been developing for decades and is the result of a neoliberal globalization project that has been driven by centre-left and centre-right parties alike.
With a focus on the causes of dissatisfaction with democracy, he highlighted the global impact and underlined the precarious state in which democracies around the world find themselves as a result.
