Gifts and Gratitude
When you give a gift, do you expect anything in return? And if so, does that mean it was really about you all along? Could reciprocity form the basis of society? Or are we under no obligation to share what is essentially ours? Shahidha Bari investigates gifts and philanthropy, gratitude and greediness, with
Elizabeth Oldfield – Former director of Theos, the thinktank of religion and culture, and the host of The Sacred podcast.
Rhodri Davies – founder and Director of the thinktank Why Philanthropy Matters and researcher at the Centre for Philanthropy at the University of Kent.
Gerald Moore - Professor at Durham University
And political philosopher Sophie Scott Brown
Plus, New Generation Thinker Lauren Working on how Thanksgiving looks for an American historian in the UK and a history of turkeys as symbols.
Producer: Luke Mulhall
