Theme of the Month: Kill your idols

Last year Musk entered the Guinness World Records after losing $182bn of his personal wealth. So this month we discuss idols. They’re defined as ‘objects of extreme devotion’, but what use are they to us in this day and age? Can they ever be a good thing? For March our contributors explore this theme.
