27. POPULISM: Burning witches and stealing money - Pt. 2 - GUEST: Angelos Chryssogelos

In this episode of This Time Tomorrow, Omri and Benni are joined by political scientist Angelos Chryssogelos to discuss the global rise of populism. From Donald Trump to Nigel Farage, from Yanis Varoufakis to Wolfgang Schäuble, from Brexit to Covid-19, from Viktor Orbán back to Trump again, the guys explore how populist movements distort our relationship with truth and facts, dismantle liberal democratic institutions, and destabilise the rules-based order… …all while asking this rather crucial question: what can we do about it? And how do we know when we’ve passed a point of no return?Tune in. Get involved.
