The coronavirus pandemic threatens to remake the world's\xa0political\xa0systems. But how exactly? In the third in a new series of interactive events from Intelligence Squared - Coronavirus: Your Questions Answered - we brought together a panel of leading commentators in a free live online event to examine how the crisis will affect\xa0politics\xa0around the world. Does the pandemic hail the return of big government? Will it prove to us that the globalised economy has gone too far, leaving us with dangerously overstretched supply chains? And will populist leaders be strengthened by the sense that the already dispossessed will be worst affected by the pandemic? Or will the indiscriminate nature of the virus help foster a new era of social and international solidarity?\xa0Addressing these questions were Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and\xa0political\xa0commentator\xa0Anne Applebaum,\xa0author and journalist\xa0David Goodhart\xa0and\xa0political\xa0commentator and writer\xa0Paul Mason. Chairing the proceedings and taking questions from our live audience was BBC presenter\xa0Ritula Shah.\n\nSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/intelligencesquared.\n\nSee acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
