Good Evening All:
BBC Radio 4′s flagship Analysis programme next week is devoted to sortition and distributive lotteries. Here's the blurb:
"Life by Lottery"
Should we use chance to solve some of our most difficult political dilemmas? From US Green Cards to school place allocation, lotteries have been widely used as a means of fairly resolving apparently intractable problems. Jo Fidgen asks whether the time has come to consider whether more of society’s problems might be solved by the luck of the draw.
Producer: Leo Hornak. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03w02sl
The presenter interviewed Barbara Goodwin (University of East Anglia) and myself for the show. Should range over a wide variety of justice-related questions.
Yours Very Sincerely,
Peter Stone
