Yeah he got australias ass there
I guess there is something to idolise about that old caretaker-type, while still being capitalists. Sort of like a fed working to take down the mob, who has gotten a grudging respect for them after all the years. I think Chapotraphouse had a bit about that with regards to Obama vs. Hillary.
Would you have any good place to start for learning about Singapore? Seems like you know some
I'm not sure I'd idolize LKW but I respect the fact that he was part of the cohort that believed that capitalism should serve society and not the other way around. That's still woefully insufficient and it's a critically flawed position, of course, but it's not nearly as deep within the trashcan of ideology the way that society finds itself in today. He's definitely a figure that is idolized by some people though.
As for Singapore, I'm not nearly as knowledgeable as you might think. I don't have any good sources that I can point to you as a good starting place, all my knowledge is the product of the accretion of scraps of info that I've come across over time.
