Solidarity - The future of a great idea

by Bude, Heinz

Solidarity used to be a powerful word. But when individuals were made responsible for their own happiness or misery, it acquired a bad reputation. Today, more than ever, society is divided between rich and poor. Social systems still maintain a balance.

But Heinz Bude calls for a new understanding of solidarity: we should not be content

with satisfying our material needs, but also recognise ourselves in other people. Only

then can society find a way to reunite. In this sense, solidarity cannot replace the welfare

state. But it does rely on free choice to reduce the difference between the haves and

the have-nots. In a world of inequality, this approach is the only way for respect to have

a fighting chance. Heinz Bude’s reflections on how to live in solidarity provide answers

to the social issue of our time. Only solidarity can prevent our society from being pulled apart An appeal for a new art of co-existence Prominent writer who is much in demand
