In this episode of The Econoclasts, Wolfgang Munchau debunks the “cordon sanitaire” or “firewall” orthodoxy that European centrist parties must never form coalitions with the far-Right, arguing that this failed tactic is a disaster that only guarantees the eventual rise of parties such as the AfD in Germany.
The Econoclasts is the new podcast from UnHerd in which Yanis Varoufakis and Wolfgang Munchau each week pick pillars of the economic orthodoxy – so-called ‘settled facts’ – and shatter them. Why? Because, while they don’t always agree politically, they’re united in one conviction: the consensus is rotten and the establishment’s model is failing.
