In this episode of the podcast, Will speaks to academic and author David Swift about his new book "The Identity Myth" which argues that four dominate identities, those of Class, Race, Sex and Age are harming our political debate by the way they are used by political actors. Will and David discuss this as well as the nature of class now and in the past, the complexities of comparison, how age has become such a factor in political debate and the way people in nations like India and China sometimes perceive left wing Westerns.
