Die Kraft der Demokratie

Since Corona and the Trump fiasco, the divided reactionaries appear as nothing but losers and failures, including the AfD. Now is the time for progress optimists: Will the Greens and all the pioneers of an eco-social democracy seize their opportunity?

Roger de Weck's award-winning book instills confidence and provides clarity: It dismantles the arguments of authoritarian populists in their cultural struggle against an open society. In this German election year, it outlines what a liberal democracy that balances nature and humanity, rich and poor, women and men, black and white could look like: dynamic and attuned to the digital-ecological 21st century. Because nature, de Weck asserts, must become a participant in democracy.
