Co-organized by the Economic Society of Singapore and Singapore University of Social Sciences, and in support of ‘ForwardSG,’ the Singapore Economic Policy Forum 2022 centered on the theme of social good. I spoke on what ordinary people need to lead flourishing lives, the unequal wage work and care conditions people face as they try to meet needs, and the culture of individual hustle these conditions generate. The edited text of my speech is published at AcademiaSG.
