Every year since 1948, the BBC has invited someone to give a series of talks expressing their own views on a significant issue. The Reith Lectures have included a wide variety of individuals with a range of views including Bertrand Russell, Robert Oppenheimer, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and George Kennan. They are recorded before an audience who then interrogate the lecturer’s views.

This year’s lecturer is Rutger Bregman, a Dutch historian and best-selling author. In his four-part lecture series titled Moral Revolution, he charts how small groups of committed people have changed society – and expresses his hopes for future change for the better.
