As the UK Government announce a U-Turn and an additional £18bn in cuts, we are rejoined by listeners favourite, Professor Richard Murphy to ask what it all means beyond the schadenfreude.
We talk about the economic realities and the political choices ahead, none of which are very attractive. We discuss the impact this creative destruction ideology is and will have on the social fabric and Richard outlines why we "need a new song" to help move us from isolation of neoliberalism to embracing the participation in society.
