Episode Details

Will Davies joins me to discuss whether or not the coronavirus crisis heralds the break with neoliberal capitalism that many expected in the wake of the financial crisis, why the Anglo-American response to the covid-19 pandemic seems to differ from the response seen in mainland Europe and East Asia, and we also talked about how the media has covered the government's approach to the crisis. You can read Will's recent article in the London Review of Books, which we discussed in the interview here: https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v42/n07/william-davies/society-as-a-broadband-network
