Join Anne McElvoy, Senior Editor at The Economist, and Susanna Cahalin, author of 'The Great Pretender,' as they dive into the tumultuous reshuffle of Britain’s cabinet under Boris Johnson. They dissect Sajid Javid's resignation and the potential consolidation of power within the Treasury. The discussion also probes the revealing revelations of the Rosenhan study on mental health and the struggles of misdiagnosis. Plus, hear about the Berlin club scene, where gentrification threatens beloved venues but culture endures.
The dramatic departure of the head of the Treasury reveals Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s desire—and that of his wily chief aide—to take firm hold of the country’s purse strings. A new book finds that a landmark study in psychiatry was not at all what it seemed. And the thumping changes going on in Berlin’s club scene.
