Dr Paul A. Taylor is a critical theorist who read economics and politics at Edinburgh University before conducting his PhD thesis on the early history of computer hackers. Paul has appeared on a number of Radio 4 and Radio 3 programmes including Woman’s Hour, The Verb, Thinking Allowed, and You and Yours. He is critical of the largely unchallenged rise of the bureaucratic mind-set and its deleterious effects on public discourse and professional standards.
