Psychologist Steven Pinker

The HARDtalk programme, like so many others in the churn of 24/7 news tends to focus on people and places facing problems and challenges.

Stephen Sackur speaks to the psychologist and writer, Steven Pinker. His new book, Enlightenment Now, is a paean to human progress driven by reason and science. How convincing are his reasons to be cheerful?
