Voter or Capital: Who Defines Democracy? | Lecture, conversation and music with political scientist Joep van Lit, legal philosopher Maxim van Asseldonk and music by Teun van Laake

This programme was in Dutch, please visit the Dutch page for the complete recap and review.

Monday 23 June 2025 | 20.00 – 21.30 hrs | LUX, Nijmegen | Radboud Reflects and Nimma aan Zee

How resilient are democracies to the power of ultra-rich? Every vote counts and every person is politically equal in a democracy - in theory. But how does theory compare with reality, where corporations and lobby groups invest billions in political influence? Does this undermine democracy, or is it an inevitable - or even important - part of it? Come hear political scientist Joep van Lit and legal philosopher Maxim van Asseldonk discuss democracy, popular power and big business, and listen to music by Teun van Laake.
