So sad to have missed this when it aired. Amanpour is one of my favourite Journalists (BBC quality).
Sandel argues in favour of public places and common spaces, and social mobility. He points to the strength of Europe with respect to the welfare state , good educational systems and pride in being European perhaps. Progressive patriotism is one of his solutions to elevating the dignity of the working man and his work. He does not mention the role that social media is playing in our increasing isolation but I am sure it is an important factor.
