  1. Cybercrime, Cybercops and You: Misha Glenny at the LSE

    In a world where we shop, bank, work and live online, security has become a nightmare for law enforcement agencies, as those who keep us safe on the street struggle to keep up with ever-changing nature of the online realm. All this is to advantage of the hacker, a highly intelligent and ever-morphing new breed of criminal, who can gain access to our private information through websites and servers which are not secure enough to keep them out. Misha Glenny, author of the bestselling McMafia, has spent the last three years immersed in the worlds of intelligence agencies, security forces, lawyers and that of the hackers themselves, and now brings his findings to us.

    This event marks the launch of Glenny’s new book DarkMarket: CyberThieves, CyberCops and You.

  2. ‘Making Rich People Richer Doesn’t Make the Rest of Us richer’ and 22 other Things They Don’t Tell You About Capitalism

    Professor Ha-Joon Chang at the LSE.

    struggling, with huge downward pressures on many people’s living standards and sense of security. The predominant opinion is that, in order to get out of this mess, we have to cut taxes, cut welfare spending, and deregulate – so that the wealth creators can start investing and generating wealth again. But why should we so much trust in those very people, who, despite taking ever-larger share of national outputs in the last three decades, have so spectacularly failed to generate more wealth than before? If we are to overcome this crisis and build a better world, we need to part with this myth – that making rich people richer will make all of us richer – and 22 others on how we measure living standards, how we create wealth, how we pay people, how we ensure fairness, and ultimately how we cope with changes and change our future.

    This event marks the publication of the paperback edition of Chang’s latest book 23 Things They Don’t Tell You About Capitalism.

  5. Rebooting the News 75

    As Dave said Dec. 3rd, “We’re having a Rebooting The News moment here with WikiLeaks.” Indeed. Now we now how the open Net comes crashing down.

    • First came the denial of service attacks. (Dave: “How do we know that?”)
    • Next, Amazon Web Services kicked Wikileaks off its cloud servers.
    • Then it was EveryDNS.net., which stopped serving the domain wikileaks.org
    • Then Tableau Software removed data visualizations Wikileaks had running there.
    • Then PayPal started choking off the air supply: donations.
    • The U.S. Library of Congress even got into the act, shutting down access to Wikileaks at its terminals.

  8. Where Good Ideas Come From: Steven Johnson at the LSE

    Steven Johnson has spent twenty years immersed in creative industries, was active at the dawn of the internet and has a unique perspective that draws on his fluency in fields ranging from neurobiology to new media. In his new book, he identifies the key principles to the genesis of great ideas, from the cultivation of hunches to the importance of connectivity and how best to make use of new technologies. By recognising where and how patterns of creativity occur – whether within a school, a software platform or a social movement – he shows how we can make more of our ideas good ones. This event celebrates the publication of his latest book Where Good Ideas Come From: A Natural History of Innovation.

  10. Obsessively Choral: Tudor and Jacobian Music

    Choral music is my first love. Even though my voice broke in 1994, I still return to the emotional landscapes of Byrd, Tallis, Gibbons, Howells and Britten as a sort of home base for all of the music I write. In this four-part series on Q2, we explore a few centuries of (mainly) English choral music, ignoring, as the genre itself suggests, the better part of the 18th and 19th centuries. This is by no means comprehensive, but is, rather, my own strange itinerary through the pieces I adore.

    In this first show, we explore William Byrd, John Taverner and Thomas Tallis. The popular tune The Western Wind appears in various parody masses in the 16th century; this Taverner is a prime example of composers burying secular threads in sacred textures. We end with Gibbons’s two spectacularly theatrical verse anthems See, See the Word is Incarnate and This is the Record of John, as well as his Hosanna to the Son of David.

    The call-and-response business in the verse anthems has delighted me for 20 years, and the imitative and playful Hosanna is a shining jewel in the canon. — Nico Muhly
