BBC Radio 4 - A Point of View, A Change of Tack

Tom Shakespeare on why changing your mind shouldn't be seen as a weakness.

The economist, John Maynard Keynes once said to someone, "When my information changes, I change my mind. What do you do?" 

Tom Shakespeare argues that we need to reconsider our view that changing your mind is a weakness.

"Sticking to your guns", he says, is of little benefit in today's complicated, fast-changing world.
