Episode 9: The polarisation problem

  • Resumen

  • Democracies are made up of people with different views. But when we don’t feel connected, we become polarised. Ben speaks to Noreena Hertz about how loneliness leads to polarisation and then to Wendy Via to find out if opposing worldviews can ever be reconciled.


    Guests:

    Noreena Hertz, economist and author of ‘The Lonely Century’

    Wendy Via, Co-founder and president of the Global Project against Hate and Extremism


    What’s Wrong with Democracy? is produced by Tortoise Media and supported by the Open Society Foundations.
