The four freedoms: Freedom from want
Author and musician Darren McGarvey, delivers his Reith Lecture on Freedom from want.
Author and musician Darren McGarvey gives the third of four 麻豆社 Reith Lectures on the theme of liberty, addressing "Freedom from want." McGarvey argues that the present system is not working for many but that it is incumbent on citizens to confront that and rise to the challenge of what inequality means. Individuals, he says, need to take personal responsibility and reject the apathy which many working-class communities experience.
The lecture and question-and-answer session is recorded in Glasgow in front of an audience. The presenter is Anita Anand.
