“Save the world with links” book presentation and conversation with Klaus Lederer

Moderated by Ruth Fuentes and Aron Boks

»How can we make our world fairer, more livable and more sustainable? How can left-wing action provide inspiration and orientation? How can we look forward to a better future in freedom and community?" Former senator and cultural mayor of Berlin Klaus Lederer talks about left-wing answers to the big questions of today.

The world is in an acute crisis, but the political left is treading water. Is being left-wing out of date? Or can't the socialist idea help us to progressively change our country and our globe?

Multiple crises and fears about the future dominate our everyday lives. The sedative pills of the Merkel years no longer work. The left once set out to fight for a better life for everyone. Today she has to fear for her political survival. Angry populism and disunity are paralyzing them. The former cultural mayor of Berlin and one of the most popular politicians in his party is radically rethinking leftism. He questions history, describes his own experiences of upheaval and provides answers to the pressing questions of our time: How can we make our world fairer, more livable and more sustainable? How can we look forward to a better future in freedom and community?

Klaus Lederer was born in Mecklenburg in 1974 and grew up in Frankfurt (Oder). In 2005 he was elected state chairman of the LEFT in Berlin. From 2016 to April 2023 he was mayor and senator for culture and Europe in Berlin.
