Sternstunde Philosophie auf 3sat: Demokratie in der Krise – Hat das Volk immer recht? Mit Barbara Bleisch, Jagoda Marinić, Oliver Zimmer und Jonas Lüscher

In the organizer's words:

Liberal democracy is under pressure in many countries and skepticism towards democratic procedures is growing. And with it the anger of many citizens. Do we need to save democracies?
Would more direct democracy based on the Swiss model make more sense, even if it provides few answers to climate change or the social divide? And voter turnout in referendums is usually low? Has democracy passed its zenith where possible? Or is it still the "worst of all forms of government, except for all the others", as Winston Churchill once put it?
Barbara Bleisch discusses these questions with the German writer and podcaster Jagoda Marinić, the Swiss-British historian Oliver Zimmer and the Swiss-German writer Jonas Lüscher.
