Joseph Stiglitz and Steve Hilton on Inequality

BBC Radio 4 - Start the Week, Joseph Stiglitz and Steve Hilton on Inequality

Andrew Marr with Joseph Stiglitz, Masha Gessen and Steve Hilton.

Andrew Marr with the economist Joseph Stiglitz, writer Masha Gessen and political adviser Steve Hilton.

On Start the Week Andrew Marr finds out if it's possible to create a world less impersonal and more equal. David Cameron's former senior adviser, Steve Hilton, believes our governments and institutions are too big, and he argues for a more human-focused society. The US economist Joseph Stiglitz tackles rising inequality in the West and blames the unjust and misguided priorities of neoliberalism. The Russian writer Masha Gessen looks at the struggle between assimilation and alienation as she asks why two brothers turned terrorist, bombing the Boston Marathon. 

Producer: Katy Hickman.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
