Jan Fleischhauer - Das Mehrheitsparadox

What happens when society's very centre stops feeling heard? Journalist and bestselling author Jan Fleischhauer explores this question in his lecture on the book "Das Mehrheitsparadox". He describes a phenomenon of our time: many people believe they are alone with their opinion - only to discover with surprise that others think similarly, but remain silent. Why does this sense of missing representation arise? What are the consequences for our democracy?

Look forward to a clever, pointed and discussion-friendly evening full of food for thought. A lecture for everyone who wants to better understand social developments and have a say in the conversation.

Jan Fleischhauer, born in 1962, studied philosophy and literary studies in Hamburg. After 30 years at "Der Spiegel", where he worked as a bureau chief in Berlin and economic correspondent in New York, among other roles, he moved to Focus in 2019. He is the author of several bestsellers: "Unter Linken", "How Dare You! Vom Vorteil eine eigene Meinung zu haben, wenn alle dasselbe denken". His columns rank among the most read and discussed opinion pieces in Germany.

We look forward to relaxed networking and stimulating exchange of ideas afterwards - drinks are on us!
