Summary

It’s been one helluva week on the rocket for co-pilot Pearson, as she describes the ‘news tsunami’ that has crashed through her life.

Your co-pilots talk through the reaction to Allison’s story and discuss the principle of free speech in this country.

Also boarding the rocket to discuss his new book, ‘What went Wrong with Capitalism’, is author Dr Ruchir Sharma who lays out his solution to the relationship between state support and free markets.

And there is no shortage of post this week as your co-pilots dive into the rocket’s bulging mailbag as readers react to recent events.
