Warisan Latoa: Pesan Abadi Nilai Demokrasi & Peradaban | Andi Ahmad Yani | TEDxHasanuddin University

Ahmad Yani menceritakan pengalamannya menemukan dan mendalami Latoa, sebuah dokumen tertulis yang mencatat sejarah peradaban bangsa Bugis-Makassar pada abad 16. Latoa menjelaskan bagaimana kerajaan pada zaman itu memiliki dan menerapkan pilar yaitu demokrasi dalam administrasi publik seperti keseteraan, pemimpin sebagai pelayan publik, kontrak sosial antara raja dan rakyat. Menurut Yani, bangsa Bugis-Makassar lebih dulu beradab dibanding Eropa yang dimasa itu masih berkutat dengan masa kegelapan.
