He was in Johannesburg a few weeks ago as the guest of the Mapongubwe Institute for Strategic Reflection (MISTRA). He gave the MISTRA annual lecture on 4 September entitled "The age of unreason and ignominy – can we judge the people’s judgement?"
We chatted about a range of things including Prof Schutte's view on the state of the global left, some of the challenges facing young democracies like ourselves, the changing nature of work, South Africa and the BRICS and the coming battle for the global economy.
