Episode 163 - FREEDOM & FAIRNESS: Our democracy's deep troubles can't be solved by fetishising markets
Manage episode 362202862 series 2911539

In this edition of In The Ring With Eusebius McKaiser, I reflect on both Freedom Day and Worker's Day.
I spend some time arguing that my generation and those of you who are younger shouldn't be ahistorical and glib about the achievements of those who came before us.
That said, we have to be rigorous in our conceptualisation of 'freedom': what precisely is it? Unless we do some definitional work, we can't mind the empirical gap between the normative vision of the constitution and our present social un/realities.
I end this edition by weaving all of that material, in turn, into a set of reflections on the moral limits of markets. If we want our democracy to flourish, and for all of us to realise our potential, then there is simply no room for the fantasy that questions of fairness or justice can be settled with deference to economic markets. There is no point in pitting the exploited worker against the unemployed.
Let me explain it all. Click. Enjoy. Engage. Leave a rating and review comment. And share the episode with a friend or two!
