About this episode

David Goodhart discusses the divide between 'Somewheres' and 'Anywheres' in the context of Brexit and contemporary issues.

My guest today is David Goodhart, a British journalist who is the author of several influential books including “The Road to Somewhere”, "Head, Hand, and Heart", and most recently “The Care Dilemma”. Today we discuss: 1. Whether there has been any bridging of the divide between the “Somewheres” and the “Anywheres” since he wrote his book 2. The extent to which his work has parallels with Disraeli’s criticisms of liberalism and the cosmopolitan class? 3. Whether centre-right parties really understand “one nation” conservatism 4. Whether AI has changed the respect power of the “Anywheres” and the cognitive class 5. What the Care Dilemma is, how we need a better way of accounting for the true costs that have arisen due to female entry in to the workforce, and what we should do about this 6. His plans for the future including a potential play on the Bretton Woods conference And much much more https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Goodhart
