Rethink Fairness is the latest chapter in Radio 4's Rethink project that ran throughout last year. It is a series of five discussions spread over one week at the start of the new year, presented by Amol Rajan. Its focus is fairness, a theme that emerged time and again in the conversations and essays of 2020. The pandemic brought renewed focus on how different areas of the country fared. There has been political talk - on both the left and the right - for decades about the need to make the regional map of the UK, economically and socially, more equal. Why has that been so difficult to achieve and Is now the time to bring about a fundamental shift?
