The German government is not complying with the Paris Agreement and at the same time is reaching the limits of growth and the debt brake because the costs of the climate crisis and climate change have to be met at the same time.<br \/>\nA contradiction has arisen between democracy and ecology, between the unavoidable pressure of time and the seemingly God-given slowness of democracy. Historian Hedwig Richter and ZEIT journalist Bernd Ulrich want to overcome this contradiction and show how a necessary revolution to preserve the basis of our existence can go hand in hand with the necessary defence and development of democracy.<br \/>\nTo this end, they look back and into the future. They enquire into the dark side of the history of democracy, into the often destructive social and fossilised conditions under which our democracy has developed in Germany and elsewhere. And they sketch out a future that also guarantees future generations the freedom to shape their own destiny, which is essential for a democracy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hedwig Richter<\/strong>, Professor of Modern and Contemporary History at the University of the Federal Armed Forces in Munich<br \/>\n<strong>Ulrich Bernd, <\/strong>Editor of the <em>TIME<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>Robert Misik<\/strong>, Author and journalist<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kiwi-verlag.de\/buch\/hedwig-richter-bernd-ulrich-demokratie-und-revolution-9783462006438\"><em>Hedwig Richter, Bernd Ulrich:<\/em><\/a><em><br \/>\nDemocracy and revolution.<br \/>\nKiepenheuer &amp; Witsch, April 2024, 25,- \u20ac<\/p>\n<p><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Robert Misik im Gespr\u00e4ch mit Hedwig Richter und Bernd Ulrich DEMOKRATIE UND REVOLUTION Wege aus der selbstverschuldeten \u00f6kologischen Unm\u00fcndigkeit Junge Menschen brechen auf der Stra\u00dfe das Recht und berufen sich dabei auf das Klima-Urteil des Bundesverfassungsgerichts, nach dem die Lebenden nicht das Recht haben, die Freiheit k\u00fcnftiger Generationen zu halbieren.
