‘[I]n the new millennium individualism is less appealing than collectivism. Whereas in the past individualism was a liberating force that provided freedom from restrictive social and governmental systems, now the public has come to realise that modern challenges require collective action. Now effective government contributes to freedom: good public education increases choices; quality infrastructure increases productivity; labour market institutions increase the bargaining power of workers; product market regulation fosters competition and opportunity.’
