In this episode, Prof Paul Dolan talks to Rt. Hon Steve Baker, former MP and Minister in the last Conservative government. Paul and Steve disagree about several things, but are united in their support for dissent. They discuss how beliefism and groupthink have contributed to flawed policymaking, and why politicians are sometimes more honest about their biases than academics.
