S2E22: Who's Developing Who? ft. Martin Kirk

Published: April 30, 2018, 11:30 a.m.

This week we’re talking aid and international development, with returning champ Martin Kirk (/TheRules). Labour’s new policy vision for aid and development was released last week, and we talk about what they're doing differently, how the aid industry is set up, and how the very idea of development needs to change if we aren’t going to turn the planet into a boiling hellscape. That Labour international development paper in full: http://www.policyforum.labour.org.uk/uploads/editor/files/World_For_The_Many.pdf And an overview by Bond, the international development think tank: https://www.bond.org.uk/news/2018/03/labours-priorities-for-international-development-highlights-and-insights Martin’s organisation, The Rules: https://therules.org The Transition Towns movement: https://transitionnetwork.org/ ___ BIG THINKING Warren talks us through a paper from non-partisan think tank the Resolution Foundation on millennial access to the housing market.
