New Thinking: The Assetocracy w/ Huw Macartney
New Thinking: The Assetocracy w/ Huw Macartney
Om den här podden
'SPERI Presents…' is a podcast taking on the big questions in political economy for scholars, students and publics within and beyond the discipline.
We also host 'New Thinking in Political Economy', an ongoing series with monthly episodes. Dr Remi Edwards is joined by authors of new research to explore the motivations behind, contributions and implications of their work for understanding power and politics in the global economy.
The first limited series was 'Lessons in Power'. Professor Michael Jacobs and Mems Ayinla interview ministers and advisors from the New Labour administration (1997-2010) to tease out lessons on a range of issues for Keir Starmer’s newly formed Labour government.
Coming soon: Crisis Point hosted by Chris Saltmarsh and Dr Dillon Wamsley.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
