Alain Badiou

In a 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?
Alain Badiou talks to Stephen Sackur.
Hardtalk is broadcast on BBC World News at 0430, 0930, 1430, 1830 (except Middle East and South Asia) and 2130 GMT
