Welcome back,
Something to debate in History Society. If you click here you will get an excellent essay in Prospect magazine by Richard Evans.
In it he compares the collapse of Weimar Germany to world (and British) contemporary politics. He argues that “Weimar warns us about what happens when politicians give up on their own parliaments“, and suggests”the ground rules of democratic politics in many countries, including Britain and the US, are more in danger than they have been at any time since the early 1930s“.
- What are the main strands of his argument?
- How far do you agree with him?
Mr Kydd.
