Our ossified institutions and dysfunctional structures seem incapable of providing solutions, which we, of course, want to be easy, quick and costless. Satyajit Das, in association with a surprise guest, promises to cut through the data, ‘fake’ news, gloom and Pollyanna logic. Prepare for a memorable evening of clarity and black humour.
