More Civil Societies with Eva Cox: Liberal Democracy
In this episode of More Civil Societies, Eva Cox explores what the British election has revealed about the future of liberalisation. The modest but influential rise of Jeremy Corbyn and Bernie Sanders have marked a desire by voters, especially young ones, to abandon the cut throat liberal and free market ideas.
The liberalisation of democracy has encouraged distrust and rampant exploitations, as shown in the 2008 financial crisis. The success of Corbyn in the election has shown the voter’s desire for the government to focus more on the people instead of the markets.
