Radicals. Not something society thinks about very often, ignored or dismissed and left on the fringes. But as usual, the internet changed everything, now the radicals can find each other, unite and influence the mainstream.
Author Jamie Bartlett has written about some of the disparate worlds united by their radicalism. They’re innovators, disruptors, idealists and extremists who think society is broken, and believe they have the answers to fix it.
Jamie was joined in a fascinating discussion by Matthew Goodwin, a writer, speaker and professor of politics at the University of Kent.
In their conversation Jamie explains how spending time with the English Defence League is more fun than a weekend with radical environmentalists and how alt-right figures have inadvertently made millions on bitcoin after being pushed away from mainstream banking institutions.
