From this event
We are living in a global democratic recession. Actual and would-be autocrats have seized power in many countries. They even threaten liberal democracy in high-income countries with long-established democracies. Meanwhile, a rising China is establishing the idea of a successful "autocratic capitalism".
Watch Professor Ian Harper AO as he welcomes the 2020 Charles Goode Orator, Mr Martin Wolf CBE, to Melbourne Business School to present his lecture addressing why this has happened and what needs to be done in response.
