Is a brave new world possible? With John Kampfner

Journalist and author John Kampfner joins the Matts to discuss his stunning new book Braver New World - a global travelogue of bold solutions to some of the world’s thorniest problems. Over three years of globetrotting to see for himself what can be done has given John a sense of belief in the future… but with some important caveats. So if you’re feeling pessimistic about the future, tune in and get a dose of realistic optimism that things can get better… but only with the right spirit and culture of political risk. Enjoy! And PS… new subscribers to The New World get a signed hardback copy of Braver New World while stocks last. Go to www.thenewworld.co.uk/2Matts now! Produced by Matt Withers
