Description
"With today’s globalised and financialised rentier capitalism, more and more of the income and wealth flows to the owners of private property (physical, financial and so-called intellectual property). Successive British governments have failed to learn the lesson that conventional policies to promote GDP growth has only increased inequalities and economic insecurity, while causing the devastation of our natural world.
Guy will argue that a new progressive politics should be centred on a revival of the Commons and Commoning and suggest a direction for future discussions. Depending on the development of our conversations over the coming months, one outcome might be the drafting of a modern Charter of the Commons that could form the basis for a public campaign."
