One of the world’s most popular philosophers joins us live from the US for this Jewish Book Week online event. Michael Sandel has followed his acclaimed What Money Can’t Buy: The Moral Limits of Markets with his latest book A Tyranny of Merit: What’s Become of the Common Good? He argues that to overcome our polarised politics, we must rethink the attitudes toward success and failure that have accompanied globalisation and rising inequality.

An unmissable chance to hear from the Harvard professor of four decades standing, Radio 4 presenter and bestselling author.
