Thirty years ago, the Berlin Wall fell and symbolically marked the end of the Cold War. In this episode, Alex and Drew talk about the state of democracy in the world since the end of the Cold War. They discuss the fear that we may be entering a “post-democratic world” and how there may be a need for a change in the liberal paradigm. They also discuss the issues of neoliberalism, the rise of illiberal democracies, populism, and how automation may change the world.
