The Good Life?

The credit crunch has fuelled a great deal of soul searching. Two new books tackle the issues head on, one from the perspective of a novel, the other non-fiction. John Lanchester’s Capital centres on the residents of a London road who receive a sinister message: ‘We Want What You Have’. Robert and Edward Skidelsky’s How Much is Enough? is a radical look at our values, what we want from life and the meaning of happiness. John Lanchester’s last book was Whoops! Robert Skidelsky is the biographer of John Maynard Keynes. Chaired by Edward Skidelsky, lecturer and writer.
