How do we get back to having a civil discourse about ideas?

Former Deputy Prime Minister John Anderson is troubled by the decline in the quality of discourse in the public square and the impact that has on the way society evolves. He is involved in the Aliance of Responsible Citizenship, a forum that is designed to engage in debate on key issues in a way that explores and probes the consequences of ideas. Anderson also talks about the way in which legislators and public servants need to keep in mind when they are doing their work, and consulting with people outside the 'expertocracy' as he calls it.
