Tim Harford is probably best known as the Financial Time's "Undercover Economist" columnist, and the books that has spawned. He also presents the popular "More or Less" programme about numbers in public sphere for BBC Radio 4. Tim's latest book, "Adapt," argues that to tackle today's complex problems requires applying principles borrowed from evolutionary science - using adaptive trial-and-error to evolve solutions rather than dream them up from first principles. Tim will explore the implications for public policy making.
