Colonialism Revisited | Nigel Biggar

We tackle the controversial topic of the morality of colonialism with Anglican priest, theologian, and ethicist, Nigel Bigger. Throughout this discussion, we trace the trajectory of the British Empire from its inception through imperialism and colonialism, and its influence across Ireland, North America, India, and Africa. As we compare the British Empire with Nazi Germany, we grapple with questions of ethics, genocide, and the role of private interest groups like the East India Company.
