I am delighted that yesterday morning TCC Senior Fellow Detlev Schlichter did our ideas proud on BBC Radio 4’s show Start the Week. On with Angela Knight (British Bankers Association), Maurice Glasman (Labour Peer) and Philip Coggan (The Economist), Detlev made a significant impact on the programme’s intellectual agenda. By the end, he led the consensus.
I am now in no doubt that along with Steve Baker MP and Dr. Jamie Whyte who already regularly appear on BBC Radio, another star has been born.
The programme can be heard here.
I listened to it and would have to agree with you. It seemed everyone wanted to refute the, ‘radical’ as mr marr described them, views of Detlev. However nobody, least of all Philip Cogan of the money printing obsessed economist, had anything to say that actually tackled anything he said.
