Sometimes we talk about the snuff like it's incredibly new in terms of yunow. But nacturally, these trems have been happening for a decade or so now. So agan, what is it you think is at the root of this kind of inability of government, either generally or specifically, to really grasp the nam of the challenge?

James Plunkett's new book, End State: 9 Ways Society is Broken, draws on his years working in both public policy and at the top tiers of government. A former advisor to UK prime minister Gordon Brown, his book looks at how to reboot some key ideas ranging from commerce to healthcare for a nation such as the UK in order to provide better quality of life for larger sections of society. James joins urbanist, transport and tech specialist Kat Hanna to talk about the book.
