"If you've learnt your economics from Hayek, and you're let loose in 10 Downing Street, you can do a hell of a lot of harm very fast indeed. It's generally true that economists could do with acquainting themselves with more features of the world."
This week we are joined by the immensely quotable Professor John Dunn, who has written prolifically on political theory and practice for over 50 years. He is currently an emeritus professor at King's College, Cambridge, and he sat down with our guest host from the Oxford Political Review to talk democracy, realistic alternatives, and how different political systems respond variably to crises. In this 33-minute episode, we also find time to discuss what is really important for a democracy to thrive, and how Britain has lost those crucial ingredients in recent decades.
