Based on the learnings from the\u00a0Industrial Heartlands and Democracy Study Tour in November 2023, the\u00a0paper outlines the reasons behind people\u2019s dissatisfaction and anger. Factors such as economic decline, geographic inequality, social alienation, and political disillusionment emphasize the urgent need for leaders to understand the underlying emotions and experiences driving these anti-democratic sentiments.<\/div><div class=\"publication-authors\"><a class=\"publication-author-item\" href=\"https:\/\/www.progressives-zentrum.org\/en\/person\/john-austin\/\">John Austin<\/a><\/div><div class=\"publication-category\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.progressives-zentrum.org\/en\/publications\/discussion-paper\/\" rel=\"tag\">Discussion Paper<\/a><\/div><\/div><!-- .publication-item --><ul class=\"posttype-list\"><li class=\"posttype-list-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.progressives-zentrum.org\/en\/publication\/new-paths-to-prosperity-in-industrial-heartlands\/\">New paths to prosperity in industrial heartlands: Report from the industrial heartlands and democracy study tour<\/a><\/li><!-- .posttype-list-item --><\/ul><!-- .posttype-list --><\/div><!-- .publications-wrapper -->\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover aligncenter is-light alignfull\" style=\"min-height:376px;aspect-ratio:unset;\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-light-purple-background-color has-background-dim-100 has-background-dim\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group newsletter\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"informiert-bleiben\" style=\"font-size:30px\">From Berlin to Brussels &#8211;  Stay up to date on the progressive politics that matter.\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our newsletter gives you all the necessary information about our latest events, studies and debates.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"newsletter-form-wrapper\">  <form action=\"\/en\/newsletter\/\" method=\"get\" class=\"newsletter-form\" id=\"\">     <input type=\"text\" name=\"your-email\" value=\"\" size=\"\" class=\"\" placeholder=\"Email\">     <button type=\"submit\" class=\"newsletter-button\">subscribe<\/button>   <\/form> <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover is-light alignfull\" style=\"min-height:304px;aspect-ratio:unset;\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-light-grey-background-color has-background-dim-90 has-background-dim\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.progressives-zentrum.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/dpz_2022_claim_EN_positiv_72dpi.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12348\" width=\"578\" height=\"57\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center alignsmall has-medium-font-size\">We develop and debate progressive ideas and bring together leading actors who turn thoughts into action.
