urgh! the BBC let an anti-market Harvard Prof lecture on the Reith Lectures

Prof Michael Sandel

its pretty rough going all through, theres one bright spark towards the end where a student asks him (in slightly different words) why consenting capitalist acts / voluntarism should not be the standard for morality from which moral critiques should be launched, and this is dodged. Oh well.

Am I supposed to know what a Reith lecture is?

You should blog corrections of this guy. Then at least people who come online will have another perspective to look at.

Ha, my father called me up to tell me I should listen to it and then tell him what I thought. I asked him what a ‘Reith Lecture’ was…

“Don’t you know Nir!, only the most respected and prestigious broadcast lecture our UK has to offer! why in my day… blah blah blah”

Perhaps I will Blog…
