#59 - Fascism and the Future of Democracy with Theo Horesh

Theo Horesh joins Julian for a discussion of his new book The Fascism This Time: and the Global Future of Democracy. They discuss Trump and the wave of right wing leaders who have taken power across the globe and how this relates to human development individually and collectively. And they discuss why such a reaction seemingly against globalism is taking place, even as our world becomes more and more interconnected and our mutual cooperation is more essential than ever before in order to face the global challenges confronting us, including Climate Change, Coronavirus and human rights. About Theo: Theo Horesh is a human rights advocate and public intellectual, who has written hundreds of articles on genocide, climate change, fascism, and democracy. Theo is also a long time meditator and student of philosophy. He is the founder of the Trident Philosophy Gang, an open circle of thinkers, and host of Conscious Business, a series of critical dialogues, chosen by Business Insider as one of 100 podcasts that will make you smarter.
