Ethics and the rise of the hustler state | Etienne van Heerden Veldsoirée 2023

  • 1

Pedro Tabensky was born in Santiago, Chile, to refugee parents. His mother is a Holocaust survivor. His father, of Polish Jewish ancestry, is a refugee of the Chinese revolution.

In this video, he asks the viewer to consider how the hunger and humiliation of concentration camps forced individuals into unethical behaviour. Then he turns the spotlight to decades of poverty and humiliation in South Africa. Tabensky argues that the “hustling” we see in politics and in public enterprises today needs to be understood before it can be addressed.

    I am interested in why people become corrupt while they know it destroys everything around them, concluded with it simply greed. Your analysis, while interesting, shows that once the corrupt rise above the worst, they get worse and worse…

    Maybe it is an intergenerational issue; is there any research on this aspect in world? because this is not a global issue.
