In this episode, Professor and influential public intellectual Sheri Berman talks with host Victor Lapuente about the challenges of current-day democracies. Both in comparison and in contrast to, the fall of liberal regimes and the ascent of totalitarian systems in the 1930s - what are the similarities, and what are the differences?
Berman will provide us with many interesting insights to grasp the true nature of the problems our liberal democracies currently face.
Please note that this interview was recorded before the start of the war in Ukraine, but Berman’s responses acquire now, if any, even more relevance.
We hope you enjoy the episode!
