Der nur schwer vermeidbare Zusammenbruch der Europäischen Union (EU) - (Prof. Dr. Hauke Brunkhorst)

The collapse of the EU, at least in its current form, is likely. That is the key message from Prof. Dr. Hauke Brunkhorst. In the first episode of our new interview series “Conversations about the state of the world,” the sociologist also talks about social imbalances, Emmanuel Macron's election victory, “states embedded in markets,” and a “dangerous hostility of nation states toward the European Union.” He also offers some advice to Martin Schulz, the SPD's candidate for chancellor.
