On November 21, 2019, the Samara Centre for Democracy was proud to partner with CBC Radio's Ideas to present In Defence of Democracy, a fireside chat between bestselling author Anand Giridharadas and acclaimed journalist Nahlah Ayed in front of a live audience in Toronto.
This thought-provoking and wide-ranging discussion tackles pressing questions on power, philanthropy, and the future of democracy. Known for his unapologetic and provocative critique of the global elite’s efforts to “change the world,” Giridharadas forcefully makes the case that decisions for the public good should be in the public’s hands.
The event later aired as an episode on CBC Radio's IDEAS.
