The Talk

From the Russian mafia to global corporations, from Chinese leaders to Saudi princes, the world it would seem is run by oligarchies as much as democracy. Should we be outraged or is democracy over-rated? Is there an ideal political framework or can Sparta be as valuable as Athens?

Oxford psychologist Robin Dunbar, playwright and critic Bonnie Greer, Times columnist David Aaronovitch, and LSE philosopher Simon Glendinning question the perfection and success of democracy.
