Welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet. I'm producer Mia Serenti. Today's episode is part one of our recent live event with writer and political thinker Eceh Temilkurin. Ecey Temelkurin is the award-winning Turkish author who was forced into exile for her critical views of President Erdogan.
She is best known for her books How to Lose a Country and its follow-up Together, which explore how the world's democracies are sleepwalking into authoritarianism, and how we might be able to defend democracy and learn the lessons of resistance across the globe. Temil Curran was joined by podcaster and journalist Coco Kahn at the Kiln Theatre to discuss the global rise of fascism. Let's join our host, Coco Kahn now with more. Hello, hello, hello, hello.
Thank you, Margarita, and thank you everyone for joining us this evening to talk about how fucked we all are. God. It's a delight to be sat next to Ece Temur Kuram, one of the Sh I would say most interesting, exciting, beloved, influential political thinkers of our times. You've drawn comparisons to David Graeber, Janis Varifakis.
