The Image Problem of Classical Liberalism


Listen Later

Bronwyn Williams & John Endres [The Small Print]

In this episode of The Small Print, Bronwyn speaks to CEO of the IRR, John Endres. They discuss the recent State of the Nation Address and its reception to it, the wisdom — and folly — of ambitious government programmes, and the image problem of classical liberal ideas. Bronwyn also asks John about the IRR’s historical role in South Africa, why so many South Africans consider it a right-wing institution today, and what “moonshot” idea he thinks could galvanise the nation.

Bronwyn Williams is a futurist, economist, trend analyst and host of The Small Print. Her day job as a partner at Flux Trends involves helping business leaders to use foresight to design the future they want to live and work in. You may have seen her talking about Transhumanism or Tikok on Carte Blanche, or heard her talking about trends on 702 or CNBC Africa where she is a regular expert commentator. When she's not talking to brands and businesses about the future, you will probably find her curled up somewhere with a (preferably paperback) book. She tweets at @bronwynwilliams.
