The Sleepwalkers-John Kampfner on how western democracy will fail
About this episode
John Kampfner discusses the survival of western democracies and the necessary changes needed to avoid failure.
John Kampfner doesn’t believe there is a better way, he believes there is only one way for western democracies to survive. On Free State today he talks about what democracies have to do to survive. They - we - are drinking in the last chance saloon he says. He explains why there has to be a reckoning and why so many politicians do not have the capability to change. He speaks about his new book Braver New World which we have discussed on the podcast and where in the world countries are doing things differently. If the rest of us don’t do the same, there will be trouble ahead. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
