Let’s Begin…
Five great revolutions have shaped political culture over the past 50 years, says theorist Ivan Krastev. He shows how each step forward — from the cultural revolution of the '60s to recent revelations in the field of neuroscience — has also helped erode trust in the tools of democracy. As he says, "What went right is also what went wrong." Can democracy survive?
How does the speaker relate the cultural and social revolution of the 1960s and 1970s to current democratic challenges?
