Who are the British elite today? Plus, memories of polio in postwar Australia
How the British elite see themselves is not what the data reveals. An historian of medicine, who's mother had polio, is revisiting the experiences of polio for thousands of people, via archival records. And a brief tribute to the Australian writer David Malouf.
Guests:
Professor Sam Friedman, a sociologist of class and inequality at the London School of Economics
Professor Catharine Coleborne, historian of health and medicine at the University of Newcastle, NSW
