“The talk is about the potential decay of Western democracy, which we usually consider as something here to stay. But it may not be. Growing inequality puts a strain on democracy. It risks setting in motion some selffeeding processes that could severely damage democracy, even degrade it to something unworthy of the name. The paper examines some of these processes.”
