CLICK HERE to watch the replay of our Meet the Leaders event with Will Hutton and Vicky Pryce, where they discussed how an alternative economic and political philosophy would remake a better Britain.
The event, which took place on Thursday 30th May 2024, was a Radix Big Tent Meet the Leaders interactive webinar which saw ample opportunity for online guests to contribute.
Will Hutton’s passionate book gave us plenty to discuss: it shows how the right and left have gone wrong over the course of the last century – and how we can remake a better Britain. He advocates an alternative economic and political philosophy, especially if we are to ward off a nihilist populism. Two great traditions – ethical socialism and progressive liberalism – can be brought together to offer a different way forward.
