My guest today is Ben Cobley, former Labour Party activist turned journalist, and author of a new book titled 'The Progress Trap: The Modern Left and the False Authority of History.'
We spoke about why progressivism is such an attractive ideology, not least because it offers certainty and a feeling of being a part of a grand historical project. We also spoke about eugenics as a forgotten episode of progressive history, why elites have embraced this ideology so readily, and whether or not it is now drawing to a close.
