Neil Davenport is a sociology teacher and critic who has recently written a letter of liberty for the Academy of Ideas in the UK, defending pubs and the pub trade.
I spoke to him about how the purpose of pubs has historically been more than just serving alcoholic beverages - from plotting working-class political movements to becoming a stage for artistic performances and hosting essential meetings.
We also discuss why the number of pubs has dwindled since the late 1950s and what he thinks the future of the pub trade will be in the next few years.
On a sidenote, it would really be appreciated if you could subscribe to the channel, as the more the channel grows, the more it can be developed.
