Reading & talk with Julia Reuschenbach and Korbinian Frenzel
Too loud, too much, too stupid, no one listens anymore, no one is agile or open or in the least benevolent. Building Energy Act, German reason of state, agricultural diesel, immigration ... there are many examples of the dysfunctional status quo of political communication, of the impossibility of forming an open public opinion. This is the general finding: the culture of debate in Germany is in a desolate state.
Political scientist Julia Reuschenbach and radio journalist Korbinian Frenzel analyze our ability to debate from the perspective of the experts involved. They organize the broad tableau of actors involved and examine who falls victim to which illusions. What defects the discourse system suffers from, what new challenges arise. Finally, they sketch out a way out of the misery, and come up with ideas, solutions and concrete proposals for action, resulting in a scientifically sound, practically experienced contribution to the debate on the state of the debate, a book that sounds the alarm, identifies the enemies and dangers to democracy, opinion-forming and coexistence, and makes concrete suggestions for improvement so that we can finally start arguing better again.
