This week Daniel Chandler and Lea Ypi join David to talk about the legacy of the great American political philosopher John Rawls and his theory of justice. Did Rawls provide a prescription for the only fair way of doing capitalism? Or did he really show why capitalism and justice will never be reconciled? What can Rawls teach us about how to treat each other as equals? And does it even make sense to talk about justice in Britain or America when the world as a whole remains so fundamentally unequal?
Daniel Chandler’s new book is Free and Equal: What Would a Fair Society Look Like?
Lea Ypi’s Free: Coming of Age at the End of History is out now in paperback.
You can hear David’s History of Ideas episode about Rawls and the theory of justice here.

This week’s episode was recorded live at the Hay Festival, where David was joined on stage by David Miliband and Helen Thompson to discuss the past, present and future of American power. What explains American global dominance? Can it be justified? How will it be replaced? They discuss the fall-out of the Ukraine war, the threat posed by China, the challenge of climate change and the possibility of a second Trump presidency and ask – is the American century over?
David Miliband writes about the consequences of the Ukraine war in Foreign Affairs.

Na década de 1990, depois de uma longa campanha por alimentos mais saudáveis nos EUA, o McDonald’s tomou uma decisão radical. Mudou a receita secreta das batatas fritas mais famosas do mundo. Por causa disso, muita gente não sabe o gosto das batatinhas originais que, segundo quem experimentou, eram infinitamente melhores.
Neste episódio, além de contar essa história, além de investigar as mais diversas possibilidades de batata frita, a gente tenta reproduzir a receita original com ajuda de um chef de alta gastronomia.

Gary Marcus and John Lanchester join David to discuss all things AI, from ChatGPT to the Turing test. Why is the Turing test such a bad judge of machine intelligence? If these machines aren’t thinking, what is it they are doing? And what are we doing giving them so much power to shape our lives? Plus we discuss self-driving cars, the coming jobs apocalypse, how children learn, and what it is that makes us truly human.
Gary’s new podcast is Humans vs. Machines.

For the first episode in the new series of History of Ideas – on the great essays and the great essayists – David discusses Montaigne, the man who invented a whole new way of writing and being read. From the fear of death to the joys of life, from the perils of atheism to the pitfalls of faith, from sex to religion and back again, Montaigne wrote the book of himself, which was also a guide to what it means to be human. Elephants, civil war, gout, cosmology, torture, tennis balls, disease, diets, and politics too: all life is here.
