All That Is Solid Melts Into Air - The politics of hope in a time of fragility
Right wing populism stalks Europe and has a representative in the White House. Our politics are destabilised by uncertainty while our economies are undermined by uncertainty. But, argues Gary Younge, the right is not ideologically in the ascendant and there are opportunities in this chaos for progressives.
The 2018 Barry Amiel and Norman Melburn Trust Annual Lecture was organized in collaboration with the Birkbeck Institute for Humanities.
