A timely and critical conversation with one of today’s most prescient writers on neoliberalism and the Trump-era exploitation of its inherent flaws. The rise of populism in recent years, amid worsening economic inequalities, raised profound questions about the resilience of western liberal democracies. Brexit, the inauguration of Trump and growing political turmoil across Europe demonstrated their vulnerabilities.

Speakers:

Edward Luce: US national editor and columnist of the Financial Times
Sanjay Ruparelia, will explore how the liberal democratic compact that oriented the west following the Cold War continues to face serious dangers -- and what can be done to revive its prospects.
