He has advised governments, shaped public policy debates, and written extensively on inequality, justice, and democracy, and social reform. Is national identity being used to protect unjustified privilege? We discuss immigration, cultural arguments, entitlement, birth rates, and whether modern nationalism assumes that global inequality is somehow “natural.” If being born in a wealthy country gives us advantages, are we entitled to protect those advantages from others? The conversation in this video also examines: • Immigration and public services • Cultural superiority arguments • Islamophobia and historical parallels • The return of birth-rate anxiety • Why some modern rhetoric echoes 19th-century eugenics This is a nuanced, thought-provoking discussion on nationalism, inequality, and the moral assumptions shaping modern politics.
