Reasons to be Cheerful with Ed Miliband & Geoff Lloyd
News:Politics
Hello! A big theme of the podcast has been the need for big change. We’re chatting to two people with really interesting perspectives on that. FT writer Martin Sandbu talks about why this is a moment that demands a transformation of our economy and what it could look like. Then Heather McGhee, one of the leading thinkers on the US left, talks about her new book on building coalitions for progressive change.
Plus documentary maker Jerry Rothwell on his film The Reason I Jump.
