About
Since its origins, democracy has been a work in progress. Today, many question its resilience.
In 2019, the Bertelsmann Foundation partnered with Andrew Keen, author of How to Fix the Future, to launch How to Fix Democracy, a video and podcast series exploring practical responses to the threats facing democracies around the world.
Through conversations with historians, political scientists, journalists, and thought leaders, the series examines the origins, controversies, triumphs, and failures of modern democracy. Its goal is to illuminate what is not working, spark thoughtful discussion, and inspire practical ideas for safeguarding and revitalizing democratic systems.
This series is also available as a podcast.
