First come first serve
Increasing social and economic inequality, marginalisation, and disillusionment of citizens, can lead to a loss of trust in institutions and political processes, while exacerbating social and political tensions. So, is lack of economic opportunity eroding democracy? And how can we change course to build equitable and liberal democratic societies given the many interests involved?
