Donald Macleod explores the life and work of Astor Piazzolla. He evaluates the impact that studying with the famous French pedagogue Nadia Boulanger in Paris had on Piazzolla's compositional direction. When he played her one of his tango compositions, Triunfal, she immediately identified where the Argentinian composer's special talent lay. It was not, as he had thought, through classical composition but in the tango world of his heritage.

Credit Crunch

BBC Radio 3 - Night Waves, Credit Crunch

Isabel Hilton re-assesses the reputation of economics in the wake of the credit crunch.

Isabel Hilton and guests examine the reputation of economic theory in the wake of the credit crunch and the implications of the failure of economists to predict the crisis.

Isabel Hilton and guests examine the effect of the financial crisis on the practice and theory of economics. They look at the lessons that might be learned from the failure of so many economists to predict the downturn and the philosophical issues raised by the comparisons between economic theory and material fact. Will we ever be able to trust again in our traditional systems of knowledge when so many in power and authority failed to understand the true nature of the world financial situation?

Isabel Hilton and guests examine the effect of the financial and economic crisis on the practice and theory of economics. They look at the lessons that might be learned from the failure of so many economists to predict the downturn, and the philosophical issues raised by the comparisons between economic theory and material fact.
