No 9 - THE BIG COMMUNITY - Thoughts on the solidarity of tomorrow
With the increasing individualisation of society, the widening gaps between poor and rich, young and old, sick and healthy and the division of Europe into debtors and creditors, the call for solidarity is getting louder. But how can the sense of belonging together be restored in an increasingly fragmented world?
Is it essential in any case? What types of solidarity are and will remain important? And what is the stuff that solidarity is actually made of? ABSTRAKT No 9goes in search of answers. With contributions from former Federal Councillor Pascal Couchepin, RonOrp founder Romano Strebel, adviser to Obama Parag Khanna, theologian Konrad Schmid, philosopher Barbara Bleisch and brain researcher Peter Krummenacher.
