Michael Goldfarb looks back to the Europe of the 1930s and asks how artists, writers and film-makers responded to the poverty, mass unemployment and poltical instability of the Great Depression. Through the work of Bertolt Brecht, George Orwell, Jean Renoir and others, Michael charts the devastating impact of the slump as economic crisis impoverished the continent, engulfing both highly-industrialised nations such as Germany and the more agrarian economies of Greece, Spain and Ireland. And as economic faultlines threaten to divide Europe once again, Michael asks whether a new art of austerity is now emerging.The novelists Anne Enright and Justin Cartwright are among Michael''s guests as he considers how writers are responding to the latest wave of banking crises, spending cuts and popular protest.Produced by Julia Johnson.First broadcast on BBC Radio 3, 29 April 2012©2012 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd (P)2012 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd

Ahmad Shawkat was an Iraqi Kurd who edited his own radical magazine—Bilattijah— after the fall of Saddam Hussein and who wrote enthusiastically about Iraq’s future as a state free from tyranny, secular and religious, having been imprisoned and tortured four times by the regime.When Michael Goldfarb went to Iraq the cover the Second Gulf War for the US’s National Public Radio in 2003, Shawkat became his translator, guide and close friend. They planned to stay in touch after Saddam was toppled and Goldfarb returned home.Their plans did not work out. Shortly after the USA declared victory, Shawkat was shot to death outside his office in Mosul by members of one of the Islamic terror groups he had railed about. His killers have never been caught but Goldfarb swore to memorialise Shawkat’s life in a book, first published in 2005, now republished under a new title. It is a tragic story of an Iraqi idealist and potential role model.
