One of the world’s most sought-after commentators, CNN anchor and Washington Post columnist Fareed Zakaria joins us with deep historical insights to illuminate our turbulent age.

We live in a chaotic, polarized, and unstable age: nothing less than an age of revolutions. But we are not the first people to live through an era of seismic transformation. What can the past teach us about how to survive and thrive through the populist convulsions of the present?

One of the world’s most respected public intellectuals and a figure who adeptly bridges partisan political divides, Fareed Zakaria is a journalist and broadcaster with the ear of global audiences and world leaders alike. Hundreds of millions of readers and viewers watch his flagship international affairs show on CNN and read his columns in the Washington Post; politicians including Emmanuel Macron, Barack Obama, Henry Kissinger and the late Lee Kuan Yew make time to share their insights and seek his in return.

Now Fareed joins comedian Matt Forde live in London to present his unique analysis of our current global epoch – and reveal what past revolutions including the Glorious Revolution, French Revolution and Industrial Revolution can teach us about navigating the illiberal backlash of our times.

As Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping threaten the world liberalism built and work to turn back the clock on democracy, women’s rights, and open societies; and as democracy at home decays, replaced by populist rage, ideological fracture, and tribalism, how can an understanding of past revolutions help us make sense of the present?

Join us at the Royal Geographical Society and discover the answers from one of the preeminent thinkers of our time.
