Understanding the Global Shift to the Right

On Feb. 18th we held a panel discussion with Prof. David Art and Mr. Dennis Saffron on explaining the global democratic shift to the right in recent years. Over 73 people attended, our biggest turnout thus far! It was a pleasure to host the event with these two men, and I thank the Tufts Chapter of the Federalist Society for cohosting the event with us. 

Speaker Insights:

"Looking at what type of economic shocks really kill democracies or weaken democracies or throw out incumbents, it’s not so much recessions. Those are bad, but inflation is terrible." - David Art

"The leadership class, particularly of the Democratic Party and some of the similar liberal parties, like the Labour Party in Britain, have been moving away for many years from their working-class base." - Dennis Saffron
