6min 49sec @thersaorg clip - does human solidarity exist? moral #globalisation? Michael Ignatieff


Some headlines

Since 1945 we have become a post imperial world 

- no group assumes the right to rule others - that they are "Born to rule"

- self determination is a given

- democratic revolution - sovereignty of people - as a guiding principle whether democratic or not

- human rights revolution -  on sexual orientation of racial background

This is an epic change


Michael isn't saying the world is more fair

But in moral expectations that is what people expect - and so gap between reality and expectation is if anything larger than it was
