Nationalism vs. globalism: the new political divide
- How do we make sense of today’s political divisions?
In a wide-ranging conversation full of insight, historian Yuval Harari places our current turmoil in a broader context, against the ongoing disruption of our technology, climate, media — even our notion of what humanity is for.
This is the first of a series of TED Dialogues, seeking a thoughtful response to escalating political divisiveness.
Make time (just over an hour) for this fascinating discussion between Harari and TED curator Chris Anderson.
This talk was presented at an official TED conference, and was featured by our editors on the home page.
