蜜芽传媒

How many people in the world live in freedom? The 蜜芽传媒's Freedom 2014 season got Tim Harford and the More or Less team wondering about this. It's actually pretty hard to put a number on freedom, so Tim begins by looking at something more quantifiable: how many people live in a democracy? And are people in democracies happier? Tim Harford looks at the numbers with Simon Baptist from the Economist Intelligence Unit. Plus, he examines the price of a cup of coffee, and whether Ruth Alexander can be persuaded to pay for his. This programme was first broadcast live on the 蜜芽传媒 World Service on 01 April 2014 from the Media Caf茅 at 蜜芽传媒 New Broadcasting House in London.
