83: Alex Evans - Larger Us "The twin ideas of national sovereignty and competitiveness are preventing so much of the collective action that we need". This week survival of the kind of podcast features, Alex Evans. Alex is the founder of Larger Us, an organisation which aims to enable social change through expanding our sense of a collective self, rather than thinking in terms of us versus them. Alex is a Senior Fellow at New York University's Centre on International Cooperation and author of The Myth Gap: What Happens When Evidence and Arguments Aren't Enough? , a book which uses deep stories to unlock systemic social and political change, addressing a world of increasing them-and-us identity.  He has been Campaign Director at Avaaz, where he ran campaigns on areas including Brexit, tax havens, humanitarian assistance, and human rights. He has done various stints as a political adviser, including as special adviser to two UK Secretaries of State for International Development. He has worked in the UN Secretary-General's office; and as consultant for organisations from Oxfam and WWF to the Ethiopian government and the US National Intelligence Council.
