Break-neck technological innovation, a realignment in both British politics and the global order, a decade of economic boom and bust. Jonathan Freedland and his guests ask if the post-pandemic 1920s deserve their golden reputation and whether we're now on the brink of a second 'Roaring Twenties'.

Joining Jonathan to look back at the 1920s and forward to the 2020s are the historian Dr Luke Blaxill of the University of Oxford, the economists George Magnus and Dr Linda Yueh and journalists Tim Stanley of The Telegraph and John Harris of The Guardian. The actor is Beattie Edmondson.
