The Weekend Intelligence: The Apology

How do you put a price on the loss of freedom? In our third episode, The Economist’s 1843 reporter Charlie McCann follows the Gladstone family to Guyana to meet descendants of the slaves their ancestor once owned. Tracing their journey to absolution she explores the argument for reparations, and what it means to inherit guilt.  This is a subscriber-only episode.
