Philosopher - Roberto Unger

Brazilian political philosopher Roberto Unger has his own take on progressive politics but is the world ready for it?

What exactly is progressive politics? In the rich world it’s identified with the centre left, with a faith in the state's ability to ameliorate the perceived excesses of market capitalism. Hardtalk speaks to Roberto Unger, an influential Brazilian political philosopher who has a much more ambitious take on what it means to be progressive. He calls himself a revolutionary, but is the world - rich or poor - ready for his progressive revolution?
