IoI Book Club

The Academy of Ideas BookClub meets monthly in central London and is open to all IoI associates. Meetings are usually on a Tuesday from 7-9pm. We discuss contemporary fiction and the social and political issues that this fiction touches upon.


Rise of European populism: the revenge of politics?

"The rules of the game at The Battle of Ideas makes beating about the bush impossible. When you are given 5 minutes to make your point, you either say something essential, or you reveal that you have nothing really to say. This eliminates 'the unbearable lightness' of speculation that haunts public debate."
Albena Azmanova, social philosopher, political commentator and activist
