When an individual or a country is no longer threatened by hunger or deadly epidemics, there is increased tolerance of other people and mutual trust between them. This was one of the main points in Michigan Professor Ronald Inglehart’s presentation at MatchPoints 2013.
The MatchPoints Seminar culminated on Thursday evening with a lively debate on Danish value politics. The discussion often touched on the current public school debate – and is that really a value debate or just the usual entrenched opinions?
This year’s seminar opened with an inaugural lecture by Harvard Professor Robert D. Putnam, recently appointed Distinguished Visiting Professor at Aarhus University.
