{"product_id":"gelenkte-demokratie","title":"Managed democracy","description":"On February 13, 2026, author Harald Martenstein gave a speech at Hamburg's Thalia Theater. The occasion was a mock trial held at the theater concerning a ban on the AfD party. Martenstein saw his task as providing arguments against this ban. This turned into a brilliant plea for a democracy that belongs to no one but the electorate, where arguments are open-ended, and where both \"left\" and \"right\" are legitimate political stances. In this book, Martenstein further elaborates on his position: democracy only exists where a change of direction is possible. A democracy without alternatives, where not everything can be fiercely debated, is in reality no longer a democracy. One can never defend freedom by abolishing it. This book, too, will spark discussions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eManufacturer \/ Responsible Person:\u003cbr\u003eLangen Müller Verlag GmbH, Thomas-Wimmer-Ring 11, 80539, Munich, Germany, info@langenmueller.de","brand":"LangenMüller","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45801849389242,"sku":"03832","price":16.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/2027\/1802\/files\/9783784438320.jpg?v=1781583657","url":"https:\/\/www.langenmueller.de\/en\/products\/gelenkte-demokratie","provider":"Langen Müller Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
