Second Home x Berggruen Institute: Michael Sandel & Elif Shafak

Second Home x Berggruen Institute present: Michael Sandel & Elif Shafak

 

How has the divide between winners and losers poisoned our politics and driven us apart? What can we do about it?

Join rock star philosopher Michael Sandel and award-winning novelist Elif Shafak for an exclusive online conversation around the themes raised in Sandel’s new book The Tyranny of Merit: What’s Become of the Common Good?

Essential viewing for anyone who has been wondering:

• How can we emerge from this pandemic as a fairer and more inclusive society?
• How have our politics become so polarized?
• Can we restore social solidarity?
• Do we need to rethink our attitudes toward success?

 

This event is part of a new series presented by Second Home and Berggruen Institute – public events that bring together the most inspiring and celebrated figures of our time to exchange and discuss groundbreaking cultural, social and political ideas.
