04. The limits of politics

John Carlin is a journalist who looks at things from close quarters and talks to the people who make policy. A connoisseur of passions, he knows how they are as decisive as the logic of interests. Looking at politics not so much from the high-flown discourse as from the human condition is his way of approaching crises and conflicts. And at the moment there are many fronts on which he is a privileged observer. Such as, for example, the United States, from where he will speak to us, incorporating the decisive American election in the coming days into our debate on limits.
