by Margaret Fay Shaw
Every island is a world in itself, and the British Isles contain more than four hundred and fifty of them. Margaret Shaw 's home is on one of the smallest still inhabited in the Hebrides, and in this talk she describes the pattern of life of its inhabitants. ' The great blessing of this island,' she says, ' is peace. We rarely hear the sound of a plane, and the only traffic to fear on the road is the slow tractor. We are not governed by time.'

In each of the programmes of this series, two trade unionists and an economic historian discuss one of the principles which has been at stake in recent industrial disputes.
