The RSA has played a role in many of the major social reforms of the last three centuries – from public education to the protection of the environment. 

In this special bonus edition of Bridges to the Future, Matthew talks to Anton Howes, author of 'Arts and Minds: How the Royal Society of Arts Changed a Nation'. 

Produced by Craig Templeton Smith
