Advertising guru and writer on human behaviour Rory Sutherland pokes a stick at received wisdom. The Case Against Education: What if the desire to deliver higher education to as many people as possible is actually making society less fair? A Parliament by Lottery: Could we fix the disconnect between the public and its politicians – by selecting our MPs by lottery? The Art of Self-Deception: Do we deceive ourselves…to better fool others? For Greater Diversity, Be Less Fair: Has obsessively measuring diversity made us less equal? Produced by Steven Rajam for BBC Wales
