No faith in the future

Former profiled politician, now community editor of the newspaper E24, Torbjørn Røe Isaksen recently released the book No one believes in the present. Here he launches the concept of 89-ers. An 89-er was born in the seventies and lived through the fall of the Berlin Wall and the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The nineties were marked by optimism in development and faith in globalisation, and no one imagined there could be another war in Europe. But what has happened now? How did we end up here, with an aggressive Russia, a polarised debate milieu and a changed and insecure view of the world?

Mah-Rukh Ali is a few years younger than Røe Isaksen, but is still of the same generation. The two will discuss the great changes which took place 25 years ago, the difficult present and how we can get back faith and optimism.

The event will be in Norwegian.
