Michael Sandel beim "Vienna Humanities Festival"

In his award-winning, bestselling book, The Tyranny of Merit: What's Become of the Common Good?, Michael Sandel, whose advice is sought by institutions and governments across the world, has provided us with arguably the most elaborate critique of the values and reward systems that underpin contemporary Western societies. But the merit-based system is not making us any happier. Where does the path to more just societies lie? Sandel’s keynote address for the Vienna Humanities Festival, followed by a conversation with IWM Permanent Fellow IVAN KRASTEV, invites us to seriously rethink the fundamentals of the society in which we want to live.
