THE RISE OF POPULISM IN THE WEST and the rise of China in the East have triggered a worldwide rethink of how democracies work—but also how they can fail. NICOLAS BERGGRUEN and NATHAN GARDELS are cofounders of the Berggruen Institute, committed to developing new ideas about how to reshape political and social institutions at a time of change, and authors of the new book Renovating Democracy.

Join Penn President AMY GUTMANN, Perry World House and the Andrea Mitchell Center in an exciting conversation with Berggruen and Gardels, as they discuss how democracies can respond to the ways globalism and digital capitalism have deepened the divide between rich and poor, challenged the social contract, and tested domestic and global institutions. Perry World House Visiting Fellow and Philadelphia Inquirer Worldview Columnist TRUDY RUBIN moderates.
