A path to security for the world's deadliest countries | Rachel Kleinfeld
You are more likely to die violently if you live in a middle-income democracy with high levels of inequality and political polarization than if you live in a country at war, says democracy advisor Rachel Kleinfeld. This historical shift in the nature of violence presents an opportunity: because while few people can do much to end war, regular voters can be the greatest force for change in rotten democracies. In an eye-opening talk, Kleinfeld unravels the causes of violence around the world and offers a path to security for the world's deadliest countries.
