Gripped by reductionist groupthink and polarised politics, both the political left and right are regressing to their most crude authoritarian incarnations. There is strong reason to doubt how long our constitutional traditions and institutions can survive this political tug-of-war. Despite this unmitigated political polarisation, there exists a third (classical liberal) way. In this hour-long webinar, join Dr. Bryan Cheang and Prof. Razeen Sally as they explore the philosophical underpinnings of the "Singapore Consensus": communitarianism, meritocracy and technocracy. Bryan’s new book unreservedly recommends epistemic liberalism, limited government and decentralisation across a spectrum of hot-button issues including economic redistribution and environmentalism.
