Our democratic future: The future of solidarity
Can we develop a shared sense of belonging in today's polarised societies?
Can we develop a shared sense of belonging in today's polarised societies? How can we ensure that we look after the less fortunate among us in an economy that seems only to reward the 'already haves'? This third lecture addresses the challenges posed by technologies that enrich a small elite and privatise solidarity with bespoke healthcare and benefits that might undermine collective solidarity. And it examines reforms and politics that might underpin our sense of community, from universal basic income to civic nationalism.
The series is delivered by Ben Ansell, professor of Comparative Democratic Institutions at Nuffield College, Oxford University.
