Who are the Left Behind? Whose Fault is it? and has the UK become the most unequal high income country in the world?

Sir Paul Collier, Professor of Economics & Public Policy at the University of Oxford, discusses the systematic destruction of the North of England, the causes of rising social unrest, the difficulty in stopping the downward spiral, and commonalities found in communities that have managed to recover.

World-renowned development economist Paul Collier has spent his life working in neglected communities and lays the blame for widening inequality on old fashioned neo-liberal economic idea's that prioritise market forces and a one-size-fits-all approach of centralised bureaucracies like the UK Treasury. As a result of these policies, Paul argues that the UK has become the most unequal and unfair society in the western world.

A picture that is bleak and filled with hopelessness and despair.

Damon is also very candid about his own battles with mental health and his search for meaning.
