David Brooks
, columnist for the New York Times, for a live Q&A on the future of politics and society after the pandemic.Everyone thinks COVID-19 will finally wake people up to the gross inequalities of capitalism. How will this pandemicI think we’ve done a good job in the last 60 years of giving people at the top of society room to run. Giving them educational opportunities.
Shifting that, so there’s lower risk and higher reward for people in the bottom 80 per cent has got to be the agenda for the future. Rethinking our meritocracy has got to be the agenda for the future. We’ve just come to the dead end that has been recognized both on the right and the left, in different ways. That’s why I think change is coming.
