Guests
Economist JEFFREY SACHS thinks we can eradicate extreme poverty by 2025 and talks about why 2005 is a milestone year in the attempt to do so. His book The End of Poverty will be published simultaneously in Allen Lane hardback and Penguin paperback.
The journalist CRISTINA ODONE has written an article for the New Statesman exploring the rising influence of foreign based religious groups, both evangelical Christians and hard-line Muslims, on British society.
Philosopher ANTHONY APPIAH talks about identity politics and how our moral obligations tie in with collective allegiances and our identities as individuals. He is taking part in a debate on Identity Politics at The British Academy on Tuesday 12 April.
The barrister and writer SADAKAT KADRI has written a history of the trial. He talks about why in recent times concern has shifted from getting the wrong person to letting the right one get away. The Trial: A History from Socrates to O J Simpson is published by HarperCollins.
