Why Is The West Robbing It's Grandchildren? (Pt. 1) | John Anderson | POLITICS | Rubin Report

Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report talks to John Anderson (former Deputy Prime Minister of Australia). John is the host of “Conversations with John Anderson” where he talks to some of the world’s foremost thought leaders. John previously interviewed Dave and Jordan Peterson while they were in Australia on the 12 Rules for Life tour. John shares his thoughts on the contemporary challenges with the current political landscape in Western societies. John talks about the importance of robust dialogue and vigorous debate between all political sides. As he has famously once said "You can not get good public policy out of a bad public debate." He gives his thoughts on how the after effects of Lehman Brothers and the stock market crash of 2008 have created debt burdens that are being passed onto the next generation. He also ponders how we’ve robbed our children and grandchildren through our mistakes of the things we’ve taken for granted. John shares his concern over the loss of the virtue of prudence, and how the loss of prudence has led to voters expecting too much from their politicians, but also politicians making too many promises that won’t be kept.
