Mark Pack and guests talk about the Liberal Democrats, British politics and a few stray digressions. Only a few.
Our bias toward pessimism - Sunder Katwala on reactions to coronavirus
In the latest episode of Never Mind The Bar Charts, I talk with Sunder Katwala from the British Future think tank. Along with discussing civil rights in the age of coronavirus and the impact on BAME communities, he raised the important issue of the human bias towards pessimism and its impact on our reactions to the coronavirus crisis.
