THE GREAT EXPERIMENT
How diversity threatens and enriches democracy
“The Great Experiment moves from insightful analysis of our current crisis to practical suggestions on how to mitigate conflicts over race and identity-a blueprint for a more optimistic future.”
Dr Francis Fukuyama, author of The End of History
How can a democratic constitution contain the social and political centrifugal forces of a multi-ethnic society without betraying the liberal idea?
In his new non-fiction book, Yascha Mounk provides instructions for an intact multi-ethnic democracy. After all, it has never been more important to think about the balance between equality and individual freedom.
To mark the publication of his new book, Yascha Mounk talks to Tessa Szyszkowitz about why it is worth daring to try “The Great Experiment” and why the answer to the challenge of diversity can only be liberal democracy. After all, despite all the differences, it is the commonalities that ultimately matter in a diverse democracy.
Yascha Mounk, born in Munich in 1982, is a political scientist and Associate Professor at Johns Hopkins University. He also founded the magazine Persuasion and writes for the New York Times, the Atlantic and ZEIT. He published Der Zerfall der Demokratie with Droemer in 2018.
