The Construction of Political Distrust and the Rise of Oligarch Power
Seminars and Colloquia
Boris Johnson turned the recent UK election into a referendum on the character of politics, and won by making democracy miserable. Based on years of investigating the dark money funded institutions which drove Brexit in the UK, undercover reporting across Europe, and street interviews with voters from Hungary to Spain and Scotland to Italy, openDemocracy’s Adam Ramsay detailed how elite networks of the super-rich and ultra-conservatives are sewing discontent with (neo)liberal democracy, and argued that progressives must embrace radical democracy.
Adam Ramsay is the co-editor of openDemocracyUK. Currently he is a Guest at the IWM.
