Democracy is under strain around the world. Authoritarian and right-nationalist movements are gaining ground, the number of democracies is falling, and many people have lost faith in democratic institutions to handle challenges like climate change and AI.
In this episode, Joel, Carolina and Sasja talk to Lisa Witter of the Better Politics Foundation about what is going wrong and what can be done. They explore why democracy is better seen as a muscle than a monument, how the economic system and the concentration of tech power shape our politics, whether AI will strengthen or weaken democracy, and what political innovation could look like in practice.
Lisa also shares what she thinks makes a good political leader, and what each of us can do, starting with the smallest of actions.
