In this episode, we discuss point four of understanding Democracy: the current state of Democracy globally. Through this, we discuss the growth of authoritarianism, populism, challenges posed by rising nationalism, and more. We then look into Iran's democratic history, which is particularly fascinating, with a rich tapestry of events and movements that have shaped the country over the centuries. After that, given the recent bank collapses, we look into the similarities between a bank run and a "run" on Democracy: mass panic & loss of confidence. Finally, we look into the current state of Democracy through the recent democratic turmoil in Georgia (the country) and a possible Constitutional Democracy in Israel.
