Large challenges, larger thinking
Mark Sappenfield
When Lenora Chu looked into the rise of the far right in the former East Germany, here鈥檚 what she found. A feeling that west Germany looks down on those in the east. A sense that no party looks out for 鈥渢he people at the bottom.鈥� The worry that 鈥渆verything in Germany is going downhill.鈥澛�
We see these same patterns in the United States and elsewhere. Seeing things in these larger ways can sometimes awaken us and help us see from a fresh perspective. In that way, Lenora鈥檚 report isn鈥檛 just about a German state, but also about a deeper question of how to help restore hope and dignity to those feeling abandoned by a changing world.
