The Illusions of Politics Uwe Petersen

Crucial principles determining our economic and social actions are more and more proving to be illusions, the adherence to which is destroying the econo-my and society and international relations. They are increasingly perceived as lies. This creates a breeding ground for political charlatans and rat-catchers. The Trumps, however, cannot only destroy the established economic and social structures. They can, through their actions, also contribute to overcom-ing the political illusions and uproot entrenched societal structures.
