| Video Discription | More information: www.progressives-zentrum.org/innocracy-2018 “THE NORDIC SECRET: HOW TO USE INNER DEVELOPMENT TO BUILD STRONG DEMOCRACIES” TOMAS BJÖRKMAN, EKSKÄRET FOUNDATION (SWEDEN) In our current turbulent times of algorithms, globalisation, Brexit and Trump, we need to ask questions like: How do societies go through major technological, economic and structural changes peacefully? In the middle of the 19th century, Denmark, Norway and Sweden were very poor, agrarian and authoritarian societies. Due to starvation and miserable living conditions, about 20% of the working population in Sweden emigrated to the US during the second half of this century. Just a few generations later, already before the Second World War, Denmark, Norway and Sweden were amongst the richest and happiest countries in the world. They had managed to transition from poor, agrarian and authoritarian societies to rich, industrialised democracies. Compared to other countries, in Europe and elsewhere, their transition from traditional to modern societies were outstandingly successful. How did this happen? What can we learn from this when we today are facing an equally large societal transition from national industrial societies to a global digital, connected world? |
