The idea of building 'an economy that works for all' has an almost universal appeal. Its roots can be traced to a call made fifty years ago by Senator Robert F Kennedy (RFK) to address the 'poverty of satisfaction, dignity and purpose that afflicts us all'. But what does it mean in practice for an advanced economy today, ten years after the financial crisis, faced with imminent climate change, persistent inequality, and continuing economic fragilities? Our fourth Nature of Prosperity dialogue addresses this challenge and teases out some of its most pressing policy implications. We were joined in Westminster by Kerry Kennedy, US human rights lawyer and daughter of RFK, Clive Lewis MP, Shadow Treasury Minister, Miatta Fahnbulleh, Chief Executive of the New Economics Foundation, and Michael Jacobs, Director of the IPPR Commission on Economic Justice. The conference was hosted by CUSP Director Tim Jackson. The day concluded with a keynote reflection from Rowan Williams, 104th Archbishop of Canterbury and chair of our Nature of Prosperity Dialogue series. This video features the second session of the day, Miatta Fahnbulleh, Michael Jacobs and Tim Jackson discussing proposals for change, followed by a keynote speech by Rowan Williams, the 104 Archbishop of Canterbury.
