Why did equal rights fail to deliver equal lives? When did freedom start to feel so unfree? And how did we get so polarised? Join us as Walkley Award-winning journalist Waleed Aly discusses his Quarterly Essay 103, Time of Monsters: What Future for Liberalism? with journalist Tory Shepherd.
For centuries, liberal ideas ruled Western economies and set the parameters for political debate. In his wonderfully clarifying essay, Aly delves into what happened to liberalism. As a set of ideas, it offered equality and guaranteed freedoms. But more and more, we live in a post-liberal world.
Aly maps the new politics arising – both conservative and progressive – as mainstream politics loses its appeal. He examines the new battles over identity, injustice, speech and sovereignty, and discusses the way instability has become central to contemporary life.
Presented by The Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Centre.
