Jens Balzer, Kilian Jörg, Angela Richter

At the heart of many debates is the dispute about freedom. Who is free from what and to which ends is it for? In discussion: Jens Balzer is preparing a book on post-liberalism, Kilian Jörg argues in favour of an ecological turnaround and Angela Richter advocates anti-authoritarian liberalism.

Jens Balzer is a writer and journalist. Kilian Jörg is a philosopher and artist. Angela Richter is a German-Croatian director and author.
