Description: Trump’s return and the rise of post-liberal political trends could fundamentally reshape the US polity. Will the traditional political order finally collapse and a new era begin? What will be the impact on the economy, on immigration, on social issues - and what role will actors like USAID and Elon Musk,who is shaping the global tech world and public discourse, play in this process? Post-liberalism is not just a theory, but is increasingly shaping political reality. But where does it come from and what future does it have?  The lecture will answer these questions, while also looking at US developments in the light of Hungarian political changes.
