Political scientist Herfried Münkler about Donald Trump, the transatlantic hysteria of these days, the destructive power of smartphones for democracy and the erratic German foreign policy of recent years.
Herfried Münkler, 73, has not only been part of Germany's most successful politician and non -fiction authors since his youngest bestseller “Welt in Zurhl”. Several of his books are considered standard works, they have been translated into 19 languages. His new book “Macht im Breaben” will be released by Rowohlt next week. The conversation with the SZ in the Schwabinger “Georgenhof” uses Münkler for a warning and a call: German politics has wasted valuable years – our democracy is in acute danger, and we are now asked that the power of the autocrats and algorithms is now asked.
