These Interviews are fundamentally important as our Western democratic system is clearly in crisis. Too many people feel that they are not participating anymore in the system. Globalisation has created tremendous wealth, but that is by far not equally distributed and has at the same time created tremendous environemental issues and imbalances. Rising populismn and authoritarismn, a financial system which is on steriods and completly delinked from the real economy, accelerating climate change, soil depletion, species extinction and tech monopolies who are far too powerful will pose tremendous challenges to the stablility of our democracies. We need to act now. Keen‘s selection of interviewees is fascinating, surprising and adressing these issues. His summaries at the end of the interview are helpful. I wish that Keen would include more interviewees who are experts on our environemental challenges as these indirectly will challenges our democracies as well. Our societies and democracies depend on a sustainable and balanced coexistence with nature which we too often ignore.
