In collaboration with Jeffrey Cheah Institute (JCi) on Southeast Asia
The seminar will discuss the post-pandemic economic landscape in Asia, with special attention given to Malaysia and China.
The post-pandemic landscape will be different because of changes due to COVID-19 (C19), and changes from the continuation of pre-C19 trends. The changes in the socio-economic landscape will be driven by the usual market forces (e.g. investments to expand online shopping and delivery services), and, for well-organised countries not mired in culture wars, these changes will also be driven by institutional innovations necessitated by enlightened self-interest (e.g. provision of clean dormitories and medical services to temporary foreign workers).
Equally large changes in the economic landscape will come from renewed assertion of pre-C19 trends, notably, (a) climate change and the global response to it, and (b) the intensification of bipolar disorder in the large, powerful countries as the world hurtles towards a multi-polar global system. Dealing successfully with these existential threats will test both the human limit of enlightened self-interest, and the natural limit of good luck.
