The well-known political writer Nina Poppel explains politics simply and humorously. What does it actually mean to live in a democracy? How does the political system in Germany work? Why is freedom of expression a cornerstone of democracy, and where does it end? How do I cope with world-weariness and the flood of news? Where can I find information, and how does personal fact-checking work? The answers to these questions are complex and show that politics is everywhere—whether we like it or not. Nina Poppel, an influential political creator on TikTok and Instagram (@nini_erklärt_politik), provides an introduction to political life and thought in her first non-fiction book. She starts with the basics and then playfully guides readers level by level through the complex political jungle – explaining how our electoral system works, what impact the constitution has on everyday life, and who actually decides on tax levels. In doing so, she makes it clear that politics doesn't just take place in parliaments and at international summits, but affects everyone – in our rights, our decisions, and our future. New product
