Yascha Mounk Biography

Yascha Mounk is a writer, academic and public speaker known for his work on the rise of populism and the crisis of liberal democracy.

Born in Germany to Polish parents, Yascha received his BA in History from Trinity College, Cambridge, and his PhD in Government from Harvard University. He is now an Associate Professor of the Practice of International Affairs at Johns Hopkins University, where he holds appointments in both the School of Advanced International Studies and the Agora Institute. Yascha is also a Senior Advisor at Protect Democracy, a Senior Fellow at New York University's Reiss Center on Law and Security, and a term member of the Council on Foreign Relations.

Yascha has written three books: Stranger in My Own Country - A Jewish Family in Modern Germany (2014), a memoir about Germany’s fraught attempts to deal with its past; The Age of Responsibility – Luck, Choice and the Welfare State (2017), which argues that a growing obsession with the concept of individual responsibility has transformed western welfare states; and The People versus Democracy – Why Our Freedom Is in Danger and How to Save It (2018), which explains the causes of the populist rise and investigates how to renew liberal democracy. His latest book has been translated into ten languages​ and was hailed as one of 2018's Best Books of the Year by multiple publications, including the Financial Times. A columnist at Slate, Yascha regularly writes for newspapers and magazines including The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Atlantic, Foreign Affairs, Die Zeit, and La Repubblica. He is also the host of The Good Fight podcast.
