On Covid state failure + responses to listeners.
The full episode is for subscribers only. Sign up at patreon.com/bungacast
We start off by discussing listener points and criticisms – e.g. is PMC a useful category? Is a counterculture a terrible idea? Were we wrong on Deleuze? More on the lockdown debate... – before featuring the second part of our discussion with Lee Jones on the coronavirus and state failure (from 45:30).
We look in depth at what went wrong in Western state responses to the pandemic, why they didn't follow their own plans, and compare this to South Korea's relative success.
Readings:
-
How the pandemic has exposed Britain’s failed ‘regulatory state’, Lee Jones, Daily Telegraph
-
