Gillian Tett on the risk of pandemics as an incredible blind spot

The Financial Times' Chair of Editorial Board analyses the true meaning of globalisation in a pandemic world. Spencer Bailey and Andrew Zuckerman, The Slowdown's co-founders and this podcast's hosts, discuss the COVID-19 crisis featuring long-view conversations with philosophers, psychologists, writers, artists, and other leading minds. Financial Times editor-at-large Gillian Tett talks about the urgent need to question how we construct our societies, interact with technology, the true meaning of globalisation and why the pandemic may lead to wiser, humbler, more open ways of being.
