Wolfgang Schäuble encourages debate about the futureThe pandemic has called into question much that we take for granted. What is the price of protecting life if fundamental rights are restricted at the same time? How do we balance the various needs in a society so that the elderly are given special protection and at the same time the future opportunities of future generations are safeguarded? What does European solidarity mean in a lockdown? Wolfgang Schäuble explores the political frontier experiences in a decade of crisis and does not shy away from initiating uncomfortable debates. At the same time, he discusses his answers to the big questions of our time - whether protecting the foundations of life, dealing with limited resources, the excesses of globalization or migration - with personalities such as Rutger Bregman, Ralf Fücks, Maja Göpel, Sylvie Goulard, Diana Kinnert, Ivan Krastev and Armin Nassehi. The book initiates the debate about what should be valued and where we should give our thinking and actions a new direction.
