Buxton Festival 2010
Liberal Democrat Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer, Vince Cable is an economist turned politician: currently Deputy Leader of the Liberal Democrats, formerly chief economist of Shell.
He joins us to discuss his remarkable life and career and his memoir Free Radical, describing the interaction between private, family concerns and the public experience in an aspiring politician’s life.
He also shares his views on the world economic crisis and how we should respond to the challenge. Cable shows that an insular response to the current crisis would be a disaster, and urges us to resist the siren voices that promote isolationism and nationalism as the answer to economic woes.
