Singapore Series: Ethnic Integration

from The Optimistic Pessimists · host Henry Bateson and Edward Walling

Henry explores Singapore’s approach to ethnic integration. How did Singapore navigate their way after the 1960s race riots? Was it a success or a failure? We are now available on Apple Podcasts too. And for note, Edward will be joining Henry in a couple of months when we embark on our main weekly episodes, focusing on why things are the way they are. The areas that interest us include the following, and will be weaved into every episode we do: history, psychology, philosophy, economics, politics and health. Simply put, it’s two optimistic pessimists working out the world.
