Klaus Lederer's Five Books to Counter AfD Arguments
Klaus Lederer, in an article for der Freitag, recommends five non-fiction books aimed at challenging arguments made by the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD). As the Saxony-Anhalt state election approaches on September 6, the AfD is currently polling as high as 43 percent, leading the Christlich Demokratische Union (CDU) in voter support. The first suggested title is "Denken gegen die Zukunft: Die Rhetorik der Reaktion" by Albert O. Hirschman. This initiative seeks to provide intellectual resources to counteract the rising influence of the AfD in Germany.
