Who is to blame if the leader can never be wrong? 'Tragedy Without Consequences' by Frank Dikötter is a historical book looking at the famine that was caused during China's 'Great Leap Forward'. It showcases the period from 1958-62 and why a series of decisions stemming from Chairman Mao resulted in the death of 30-45 million people. A reoccurring theme was being out of touch with reality, whether it be untested agricultural reforms, distorted data collection or continual lies bouncing from top to bottom. A truly sad period of history. Massive thanks to Petar &amp; Queen Mother for the support. Would love to hear your feedback and appreciate any support you wish to give :) Timeline:(0:00) - Intro(2:18) - Themes/Questions(28:36) - Author &amp; Extras(32:21) - Summary(35:06) - Value 4 Value(38:03) - Join Live!
