3. Economics and Culture in the 80s - with Alwyn Turner
Update: 2023-05-30
Description
“Economics are the method, the object is to change the soul” - Margaret Thatcher (1981)
What were the various tensions and contradictions between free markets and social conservatism in the 1980s? How did these manifest in the culture, music, and media of the time?
In this episode, I’m joined by author and historian Alwyn Turner to ponder these questions amongst many others. In this wide-ranging discussion, we run the gamut from monetarism and Milton Friedman to Band Aid, Only Fools and Horses and much more.
We hope you enjoy the podcast!
