Sir David Hare, one of the greatest British playwrights of our time, explores his anxiety that our world has sped up and that history in this century is a dizzying, unpredictable and unsettling succession of events. Hare has always imbued the political with the personal, exposed the aphrodisiac of power and the creative energy of anger. His latest book,\xa0We Travelled: Essays and Poems, continues his life\u2019s work of arguing against economic rationalism and the bankers, politicians, plutocrats and churchmen who profit from it.
