Wenn man sich der Agenda klar ist, ist es top

Man muss sich klar machen, dass das Soho-Forum eine sehr eindeutige Liberalism-Agenda verfolgt. Wenn man sich dieses Hintergrunds bewusst ist, kann man hier ganz fantastische - und auch verhältnismäßig ausgeglichene - Debatten zu sehr aktuellen Themen anhören und viel von den Experten lernen. Wie gesagt, es ist in den meisten Fällen eine Debatte eines liberalen vs. eines anderen Gedankens, aber beide Redner haben ein solches fachliches Niveau, dass man immer mit Denkanstößen in beide Richtungen heraus kommt.
