Commentary, Research insight
The growing refugee crisis in Afghanistan and the legacy of 18th century philosopher and writer Adam Smith.
As hundreds of thousands of people flee Ukraine and seek refuge in Moldova, Poland and other EU countries, in this episode we're taking a moment to focus on another refugee crisis, the deteriorating situation in Afghanistan, with Sabir Zazai from the Scottish Refugee Council.
Adam Smith was a former student, professor and director at the University of Glasgow and is one of Scotland's most famous figures of the 18th century. 2023 marks Adam Smith's tercentenary and to discuss his legacy we're joined by Dr Craig Smith, Adam Smith Senior Lecturer in the Scottish Enlightenment.
