„How do we succeed in making courageously progressive policies without ignoring the fact that it is precisely progress and the courage to change that alienates people, repels them, causes them to revolt?“
This is one of the central questions Habeck raises in his new, very personal book. One of the German Green party’s leaders and one of its most prominent figures in recent years, Robert Habeck, explores why there is so much disorientation and uncertainty and how to counter these developments.
In his analysis, he repeatedly draws on his own experiences - among them many successes, but also the experience of being the object of other people’s hatred. With self-critical awareness, Robert Habeck closes in on the blind spots and contradictions in politics in recent decades. And he outlines policies that take future problems into account from the very beginning. For, according to him, we can counter the erosion of democracy, the loss of confidence in politics, the disintegration of Europe, and the climate crisis, if we want – we simply have to decide to do so.
