In an exciting dialogue, Alain Badiou, a leading figure of the radical left and chief defender of the communist idea, meets Marcel Gauchet, a prominent representative of anti-totalitarianism and defender of liberal democracy, to debate communism, capitalism, and the future of democracy. It was thought that communism had definitively collapsed with the fall of the Berlin Wall and that liberal democracy had won the game. However, with the unprecedented crisis we are experiencing, the field of possibilities is being reconfigured. Is democracy irretrievably trapped by capitalism, or can it reinvent itself to provide answers to the challenges of globalization? In this unpublished dialogue, Alain Badiou, one of the key representatives of the radical left and main defender of the communist idea, discusses these issues.
