Show Notes
This is the second of two podcasts from CLES, exploring both the provenance and prospects of community wealth building in the UK.
It covers the moment we’re in – with commentary from CLES’s incoming and outgoing CEOs, Sarah Longlands and Neil McInroy – before taking a deeper look at the incremental changes that local governments can employ, to turn the dial to create economic, social and environmental justice for their place.
More from The CLES Podcast
This new podcast from CLES tells the story of the conceptual and practical origins of community wealth building, through the voices of thinkers and practitioners, from Clackmannanshire to Cleveland. The first two episodes to be released in the coming months, part two will explore the moment we are now in for local economic development, how that relates to community wealth building and the on-the-ground processes that are incrementally turning the dial towards system change.
On this special podcast, we are sharing J. Phillip Thompson’s keynote address from our Community Wealth-Building Summit in November 2020. Phillip is the Deputy Mayor for Strategic Policy Initiatives in New York City and the author of Double Trouble: Black Mayors, Black Communities, and the Call for a Deep Democracy.
CLES is the national organisation for local economies. Our podcast explores the people and places who are thinking and doing to make progressive local economies a reality.
