Synopsis

Barack Obama won the US presidency after campaigning for moral and civic renewal. But what should that look like?

In his final Reith Lecture, Professor Michael Sandel calls for a new politics of the common good and says that we need to think of ourselves as citizens, not just consumers.

This lecture was recorded in front of a live audience at George Washington University in Washington DC.
