Alain Badiou - BBC HARDtalk (1/3)

In a BBC HARDtalk interview broadcast on 24 March 2009, Stephen Sackur talks to French socialist philosopher Alain Badiou. As the world's richest economies plunge deeper into recession could there be a whiff of revolution in the air? Alain Badiou has been an intellectual hero of France's anti-capitalist left since the Paris street protests of 1968. His recent book 'The Meaning of Sarkozy', in which he attacked the French President, has caused a storm in France. But does anyone beyond Parisian café society believe communism is the answer to the current crisis?
