Do we underestimate the value of Liberalism? Political philosopher, Alexandre Lefebvre, says liberalism underpins the modern Western world, even if we sometimes struggle to define it. And even when its brand is coopted by party-politics. Rediscovering its pure form, he argues, could be the key to a more tolerant and prosperous future. Also, is the European Union losing its taste for regulation, particularly where big tech is involved?

Guests

Dr Alexandre Lefebvre – Professor of Politics and Philosophy, University of Sydney

Laura Petrone – Analyst, Thematic Intelligence Team, Global Data

Dr Anabela Malpique – Senior lecturer, Department of Education, Edith Cowen University
