The TRM Podcast is part of The Democracy Group, a network of podcasts that examines what’s broken in our democracy and how we can work together to fix it.
In this episode, I sit down with Metin Pekin, whose upcoming book Breaking Democracy’s Chains offers one of the clearest, most urgent diagnoses of our democratic crisis. We dive into why political parties no longer represent the people, how modern democracies have been quietly captured by elite interests, and what it will take to rebuild a system that is genuinely responsive to citizens. Pekin brings the perspective of an entrepreneur, not a career politician or academic—making this conversation refreshingly grounded, deeply informed, and essential for anyone who senses that something in our politics has gone profoundly wrong. Tune in for a timely, wide-ranging discussion about how democracy broke—and how we can still fix it.
