Listen "When Nothing Works, with Julie Froud, Sukhdev Johal, and Justin O'Connor"
Episode Synopsis
It's hard to escape the feeling that in Britain today nothing works. Economic growth and higher wages are simply not enough. This is because the so-called "cost of living crisis" is only the face of a deeper crisis of foundational liveability.
How can we address failing public services and decaying social infrastructure? What is the foundational economy and how do we rebuild it? What is the role of cultural infrastructure in this process?
On this lunchtime panel, Julie Froude (Manchester) and Sukhdev Johal (QMUL), members of the Foundational Economy Collective and two co-authors of When Nothing Works (2023), discuss these questions alongside Justin O'Connor (South Australia), author of Culture of is Not Industry (2024).
