Are these, as Burke believed, ' The common disposition of the greatest part of mankind' or is the future of the British people really in the balance? Asa Briggs explores the situation in a series of five broadcasts.
3-The Shape of Our Society
Speakers:
Asa Briggs
Professor of Modern History in the University of Leeds
Graham Hutton
Sir John Wolfenden , C.B.&
Vice-Chancellor of Reading University
In earlier programmes Professor Briggs suggested that our need to increase output may often be frustrated by the values of British society. Tonight he criticises three particular features of our society which he believes are inimical to an expanding economy. He argues that we are too conservative, too impressed by our own past, and too divided by class.
