Description

This book is a collection of twenty-one essays by Professor David Chan, which first appeared in The Straits Times from October 2011 to January 2015. The essays cover a wide range of topics including happiness and well-being, fairness perceptions, the immigration debate, population policies, social cohesion, social mobility, trust in society, public expectations, rationality and emotions, approaches to policy making, modes of thinking, democracy, shared values and principles, and the social compact between people and Government in Singapore. The common theme that runs through these essays is what David calls "People Matter".
