Grace Blakeley Explains How To Reform UK Democracy

EP 357 - As COP 29 draws to a close in sunny, oil rich Azerbaijan
we revisit our spirited conversation with political economist
Grace Blakeley. We talk about Green New Deals and why we need to
restore faith in democracy above all else.


Grace makes a compelling point that dealing with Climate Change
shouldn’t be put on the shoulders of individuals but those of
institutions and businesses, as only they can affect the systemic
changes required.


We discuss how investing money in fixing problems now will pay
for itself in the long run (it worked after WWII after all) and
how community wealth building offers a credible alternative to
the idea of “stakeholder capitalism”.


Spoiler alert - Grace is not a fan of stakeholder capitalism.
