TEDx USF 2017 - Bernd Reiter: The Crisis of Liberal Democracy | Bernd Reiter | TEDxUSF

The idea that we, as citizens, can lay back and elect others to do “politics” for us is dead. It has lead to massive abuse, media manipulation, and elitism. We all expect more from democracy and we all deserve an equal chance to win in competitive markets. Bernd Reiter is a professor of comparative politics and currently serves as the graduate director for the School of Interdisciplinary Global Studies. He has earned his Ph.D. in Political Science from the CUNY Graduate Center, in New York and, before joining academia, he has worked as a social worker and consultant in Brazil and Colombia. His forthcoming book is entitled The End of Liberal Democracy and the Path Ahead. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
