Hi, it's Nicola Cocklin.

Young people have been making history for years, but we don't often hear about them.

My brand new series on BBC Sounds sets out to put this right.

In history's youngest heroes, I'll be revealing the fascinating stories of 12 young people

who've played a major role in history and who've helped shape our world.

Like Audrey Hepburn, Nelson Mandela,

Louis Braille and Lady Jane Grey, history's youngest heroes with me, Nicola Cochlin. Listen on BBC Sounds.

Hello, I'm Mark Carney. And in my BBC Reef lectures, I'm going to chart how we've come to

esteem financial value over human

values and how we've been moving from market economies to market societies. I'll argue that this

has contributed to a series of global crises of credit, COVID, and climate, and I'll outline how we can turn this around.

In my third lecture, I'm going to look at the impact of the pandemic and analyze how the

COVID crisis is forcing us to confront fundamental questions about how we value health,

wealth, and opportunity.

Welcome to the third of the 2020 BBC Reith Lectures with the former governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney.

Now, in his series, how do we get what we value? He is discussing how putting financial values above everything else

has contributed to many of the biggest problems that we're facing today, including crises in

credit, climate, and in this, his third lecture, COVID too. The pandemic, he observes, has

forced nation states to confront just how we value health,

wealth and opportunity, apparently forcing governments to choose between the life of its citizens

and the lifeblood of the economy. Now, Mark's going to argue that this is a false dichotomy

and that we should be moving beyond a narrow and a financially driven reaction to COVID-19.
