A broken society or just the realities of life with a wide gap between rich and poor?

The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby has described Britain as a broken society with a wide gap between the rich and the. Is that true?

The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby this week waded deep into political waters when he described Britain as a broken society where the gap between the richest and poorest parts is ever-widening. He was reacting to a report compiled by leading business and trade union figures which warned the UK is the most geographically unbalanced economy in Europe.

So what about the situation here? Are we a broken society accepting that the poor are always with us and that in the end it's the market that decides what's fair? Audrey Carville discusses with Ann Pettifor, a director of the organisation Policy Research in Macroeconomics and author of 'The Production of Money', the economist John Simpson and the trade unionist Bumper Graham.

"We just get on with things," - amid the rising tensions in Korea, Audrey learns about the relaxed attitude of Co Leitrim-born priest Father Denis Monaghan on living and working for the past 50 years in Seoul.

Books that speak to the soul. This week's guest is the Reverend Cheryl Meban.
