Read why the Battle of Ideas 2012 essay
Claire Fox’s essay Why the Battle of Ideas 2012 says today “it is difficult to assert the importance of freedom in 2012 without people raising a range of caveats: do we mean unregulated freedom to exploit? Aren’t the media, bankers and big business too free? How can we trust organisations that want the freedom to hide their secrets?”
Early intervention: saving children from their future?
"A truly original battle with a great deal at stake as opposed to a reassuring renactment of old arguments. I felt refreshed rather than entrenched afterwards."
