The world in which we have grown rich is collapsing. How to save capitalism and democracy?
Against the system. Support for the moderate right and left is declining in the US, France, Spain, Italy and Belgium. The Netherlands is no exception – even there the far right is growing and demonstrating. Russian President Vladimir Putin was so discouraged by the invasion of Ukraine that even his long-time apologist Milos Zeman condemned him. So, one would like to say – while in a democracy we make mistakes all the time, but small ones, authoritarians make giant ones. So there’s nothing to worry about, democracy and its inextricably linked capitalism are better systems, period. They are better, but there is one problem – you have to convince people of that. And they certainly think less of it than they used to, Putin’s mistakes notwithstanding. As many polls show, people’s trust in democracy is declining.
