Analysis

News & Politics

Analysis makes sense of the ideas that change the world. What made Islam political, whether the Government can make us go green, why we think the market in human organs is repugnant are just some of the subjects the series tackles. With thought-provoking and expert presenters like Camilla Cavendish, Philip Stephens and Felipe Fernandez-Armesto, Analysis aims to make the world of policy and ideas both interesting and surprising.
