Episode 10: What can political leaders learn from history?
Rory Cellan-Jones talks to expert guests Lucy Delap (University of Cambridge) and Victor Gay (IAST/TSE member) about how lessons from history can inform policymaking today. They discuss what the recession in the 1970s can tell us about government response to the current cost-of-living crisis, and what the 1918 Spanish Flu can tell us about dealing with a pandemic.
