  Welcome to the LSE Events Podcast by the London School of Economics and Political Science.

• 00:06

  Get ready to hear from some of the most influential international figures in the social sciences.

• 00:16

  Well, good evening everyone.

• 00:17

  My name's Robin Archer.

• 00:18

  I'm the director of the Ralph Miliband Programme at the London School of Economics.

• 00:24

  And before I start, I just want to begin by acknowledging the huge debt that our programme owes to Marion Kozak,

• 00:33

  who passed away from us.

• 00:36

  Marianne, as many of you know, was Ralph Miliband's wife,

• 00:41

  and she has been a stalwart of what is now the Ralph Miliband Programme since its inception 30 years ago.

• 00:48

  Marianne was a scholar and an activist.

• 00:50

  She was a socialist.

• 00:52

  She was a feminist.

• 00:54

  And she was an economic historian.

• 00:57

  And she was an incisive and powerful contributor to some fundamental debates.

• 01:04

  In many ways, she was the most extraordinary wife.

• 01:08

  And my heart goes out to her sons.

• 01:12

  I know Marianne would have been delighted to sit and listen,

• 01:16

  as she did in so many varieties, to our speaker today, Dr. Matthew Myers.

• 01:23

  Matt is a lecturer in modern European history at the University of Oxford,

• 01:27

  and he's a graduate both of Oxford University and here at the London School of Economics.
