Gepubliceerd op 19 dec. 2017

 
To understand the rise of populism we need to engage and care about questions as dignity of work, uncriticized financialization of market driven economy, growing inequality, missing solidarity and the fear of immigration, says Michael Sandel: we need to disentangle the legitimate grievance underlying the populist revolt from its ugly sentiments and engage it seriously.

12 Michael Sandel: Populism, Trump, and the Future of Democracy

Back to menu

23 apr. 2018

PLEASE NOTE: THIS VIDEO IS AUDIO ONLY. Like the triumph of Brexit in the UK, the election of Donald Trump was an angry verdict on decades of rising inequality and a version of globalization that benefits those at the top but leaves ordinary people feeling disempowered. In this lecture, renowned philosopher Michael Sandel argues that before mainstream parties can hope to win back public support, they should learn from the populist protest that has displaced them—not by replicating its xenophobia and strident nationalism, but by taking seriously the legitimate grievances with which these ugly sentiments are entangled. These grievances are not only economic but also moral and cultural; they are not only about wages and jobs but also about social esteem.

Professor de Filosofia Política da Universidade de Harvard, Michael Sandel conversa com o UM BRASIL sobre seu best-seller “Justiça”, em que debate “o que é fazer a coisa certa?” por meio de exemplos do dia a dia do cidadão comum. Em meio à crise de representatividade no mundo democrático, o filósofo analisa a situação política brasileira, defende a necessidade de reflexão sobre ética e justiça no debate público e alerta contra os riscos dos discursos extremistas.

Participa do debate, o brasileiro Renan Ferreirinha Carneiro, cofundador do Mapa Educação e estudante de economia em Harvard, que conta sobre a experiência de receber Sandel no Brasil para falar com cidadãos e lideranças públicas e debater o “jeitinho brasileiro”.

A entrevista faz parte da série “Diálogos que Conectam”, realizada pelo UM BRASIL em parceria com a Brazil Conference – evento realizado anualmente por alunos brasileiros da Harvard University e do Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Neste ano, a missão da Conferência foi proporcionar o diálogo entre as mais diversas lideranças do País a fim de criar debates produtivos na busca de consensos sobre o futuro do nosso país.
