Polarised: Hope vs Fear, Live from Wilderness Festival
Manage episode 239378491 series 2335159
Matthew Taylor is joined by a live Wilderness Festival audience and John Harris from The Guardian to explore the battle between the politics of hope and the politics of fear.
Hope can be a great motivating force in politics. And so can fear. In January, the teenage climate campaigner Greta Thunberg told the grown-ups at Davos: “I don’t want your hope. I want you to panic. And then I want you to act.” But on climate change and many other issues, fear can turn into fatalism. So how can we remain hopeful without losing a sense of reality?
Recorded live at Wilderness Festival on Saturday 3rd August 2019.
Produced by James Shield.
