In 1765, King George III and his ministers in the British Parliament sparked outrage in the American Colonies when they announced they were issuing the Stamp Act, the first direct tax on the Colonies. American critics decried the “taxation without representation,” and Boston radicals staged protests, boycotts, and attacks on tax collectors.After a decade of growing tension over taxes, representation, and imperial control, the first shots of the Revolutionary War rang out in the Massachusetts countryside, as colonial militiamen confronted British regulars on the Lexington village green.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

British oil giant Shell continued to operate major pipeline in Nigeria even though bosses knew it was causing widespread pollution, according to secret documents obtained by BBC. Shell has always rejected the accusations, blaming the theft and illegal refining of oil taken from the pipeline. Also: the Trump administration drops plans for a fund to compensate people claiming to be victims of politicised prosecution after a backlash from Republicans; Microsoft announces a new quantum chip that it says is 1,000 times more reliable than its predecessor; promising results for new cancer pill which caused tumours to shrink by at least 30%; anger in the UK following the case of a student who was murdered and falsely accused of racially abusing his attacker; and could microbes still be living in a body frozen in ice for 5,000 years?

After a young British man ends his life with a mysterious substance, his grieving family stumbles into the online world that helped him – and countless others – die.

What happens when an entire city becomes convinced the dead are being stolen from their graves? And what if the rumor turns out to be both wrong... and horrifyingly right? In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro uncover the bizarre true story of the Wardsend Cemetery Riot of 1862, when thousands of terrified Victorians stormed a cemetery in Sheffield, England, fearing grave robbers were selling corpses to medical schools. The truth behind the scandal revealed a disturbing burial scheme, public outrage, and one of the strangest riots in British history. Then, travel from a Victorian graveyard to the freeways of Los Angeles, where a frustrated artist secretly installed his own highway sign to fix a dangerous traffic problem. For months, nobody noticed—and the unauthorized sign may have helped save lives. Was it vandalism, public service, or a brilliant act of guerrilla urban design? From resurrection men and cemetery conspiracies to stealth infrastructure and accidental civic heroism, this episode explores the strange intersection of fear, ingenuity, and the unexpected ways ordinary people can change history. The Box of Oddities is a podcast dedicated to the weird, the wonderful, and the wildly true. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Royal Navy's success in turning back the German invasion convoys in the waters north of Crete on the night of May 21st removed the threat of a seaborne landing, but it could not undo the damage done by Commander Freyberg's obsession with that very threat. This episode examines how Freyberg's misreading of Ultra intelligence about the 5th Mountain Division led him to hoard troops along the coast and withhold artillery from targets plainly visible in front of them, all while the Germans steadily expanded their grip on Maleme airfield. The doomed Allied counter-attack of May 22nd — delayed until daylight, shattered by German fighters before it could reach the runway — marks the decisive turning point of the battle. With General Julius Ringel arriving to assume command and concentrate all German effort on driving east from Maleme, the British began their retreat toward Galatas, conceding any chance of recovering the airfield. Meanwhile, at Rethymno and Heraklion, Allied forces were holding on and even turning German supply drops to their own advantage — a stark contrast to the unraveling situation in the west that sets the stage for the final collapse.

Wallis Simpson was an American divorcee who won the heart of Prince Edward. In 1935, Edward abdicated as King so that he could marry Wallis. Meanwhile, his brother Prince Albert married Scottish noblewoman Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon. For most of their lives, Elizabeth and Wallis hated each other. This dramatic real-life rivalry inspired The Windsor Affair, a new novel by Melanie Benjamin. Melanie joins us to discuss this scandalous history and how modern-day British royal women compare to these famous rivals.

DC Comics still doesn't get it. Pride Month is over, and the sooner they learn that, the better. A reporter for GB News (Britain's News Channel) tried to talk to the protestors outside of the Delaney Hall ICE facility and got a hefty dose of what we Yanks call "fatigue." The body cam footage in the murder of Henry Nowak, a British man stabbed to death by our greatest strength, has been released. Nowak died after he was stabbed multiple times and, instead of the police helping him, they put him in cuffs because racism or something. We'll see if the body cam footage sheds any new light on the subject. Poland and France. Unchecked illegal immigration and Islamification or tradition and closed borders. Which way?

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, on October 7, 2023, Palestinian terrorists from Gaza, backed by Qatar, Turkey, and Iran, attacked Israel, murdering 1,200 people through extreme brutality. If drug cartels had done the same on the Texas border the U.S. would not tolerate it or fight with the restraint Israel showed in Gaza, such as issuing warnings and leaflets. Israel, a small nation, has faced ongoing attacks from Hamas and Hezbollah yet is repeatedly told to back off just as it nears destroying these groups, allowing Hamas to rearm despite a supposed peace deal. The U.S. fought Iran alongside Israel, but now pressures Israel to stop while Hamas remains armed and Hezbollah continues threats. Why is Israel not permitted to fully defend itself? Afterward, the leak in Axios was a violation of federal law and provided support to the Iranian regime and its Hezbollah proxy. Whomever leaked that story to Barack Ravid did a grave disservice to our country, to our president, to Israel, and to Israel's prime minister. The Iranian regime will benefit from that leak, viewing us as weak and desperate for a deal -- even coming to Hezbollah's defense. Will there be an FBI investigation to determine who leaked? If not, why not? Also, we will soon celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Every delegate who signed the document had signed their own death warrant.   Let us remember this when we listen to the debates about whether or not we should defeat the Iranian regime.  All the arguments and even excuses against it -- despite 47-years of it killing and maiming thousands of our fellow countrymen, and a far more dangerous and diabolical ideological agenda than that of the British monarchy. Yet, George Washington and the brave founders of our country personally risked everything. Ultimately, the British forces surrendered.  The Iranian regime will never surrender.  And they will never abide by a deal, any more than they have abided by a ceasefire. Later, Bari Weiss is a genuine journalist who is challenging CBS's entrenched radical mindset by promoting more moderate, professional journalists, which has provoked attacks from figures like Scott Pelley. There are CBS personalities like Pelley who are whiny, narcissistic, privileged, entitled buffoons who are driving down ratings. Meanwhile, Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur are complaining that they were banned from Britain over their views on Israel and terrorism, while affirming First Amendment free speech. They hate America, trash its Judeo-Christian and Enlightenment values, and support regimes like communist China, Cuba, Islamist Iran, and Turkey where free speech is suppressed—yet demand sympathy when facing restrictions themselves.

The Secretary General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, says the world must treat the new phase of the weather pattern, El Niño, as an urgent climate warning. He said it would pour fuel on the fire of a warming globe. The World Meteorological Organisation says preparations are needed for a potentially strong El Niño event with an eighty percent chance of conditions developing in the next few months. Also: Israeli forces have continued hitting targets in southern Lebanon after an agreement backed by President Trump stopped them from striking the capital, Beirut. Two people have died in Kenya during protests against plans to establish a US-backed Ebola isolation centre. A British man could become the first astronaut with a disability to live and work in space; and Tom Hanks and Tim Allen are back as Woody and Buzz in Toy Story 5, as they try to make sense of a world dominated by technology.

Jeff Stanfield and Andy Shaver are both back from their respective travels—Jeff from Las Vegas and Andy from Grand Cayman.The guys recap their trips, with Jeff sharing how Vegas has changed since his last visit, while Andy looks back at his first family trip to Grand Cayman. The conversation then shifts to the growing demand for electricity in parts of Nevada, where utility providers are exploring ways to directly supply power to expanding data centers while leaving the residents unsure of where their electricity will come from, they also dives into the history of Grand Cayman, the lasting influence of British colonialism, and how the island developed into one of the Caribbean's most well-known destinations.To wrap things up, the guys discuss the Women's College World Series, and the growing national disdain for Texas Tech University.

When we picture the American Revolution, we picture battles. But for the men and women who actually lived and fought in it, the Revolution was also a job with mess rotations, night watches, short rations, and children underfoot. Historians Eugene Procknow, Gabriel Neville, and Thomas Sobol pull back the curtain on everyday military life during the War for Independence. They discuss how the armies were structured, what soldiers actually ate, what camp followers endured, and how soldiers found humanity amid grinding hardship. You'll hear about a Black Continental soldier who had eaten nothing but bread for eleven days, and was still writing letters home that went unanswered. A Georgia soldier who agreed to fight for the British just to escape a prison ship, then deserted and marched across two states to rejoin Nathanael Greene's army. And you'll discover why John Adams believed the most dangerous moment of the Revolution wasn't a battle at all.Show Notes: https://www.benfranklinsworld.com/403 EPISODE OUTLINE00:00:00  Introduction00:05:44 Structure of the British and Continental Armies00:10:33 Militia, German Soldiers, and Indian Allies00:20:43 Everyday Life in the American War for Independence00:25:80 Camp Followers00:33:10 Downtime in the Army00:36:59 Soldiers' Letters00:46:00 Food Procurement & Supply Chains00:50:27 Supplementing Rations00:55:34 War Mementoes & Plunder00:58:36 Medical Care in the Army01:08:07 The Revolution in ContextRECOMMENDED NEXT EPISODES

Tyler Robinson, Markwayne Mullin, Ron DeSantis, and Graham Platner headline today's A.M. Update. Judge Tony Graf rules the public and press cannot be barred from Tyler Robinson's upcoming preliminary hearing, meaning potentially bombshell evidence against Charlie Kirk's alleged killer will be visible to the world. Iran remains a chaotic blur of strikes, broken communications, and shifting demands, with the IRGC now insisting any deal must include leaving Hezbollah alone in Lebanon, and Aaron says it's starting to look less like 3D chess and more like the U.S. being pressured. DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin confirms some of the Delaney Hall protesters were bussed in from Portland, Oregon, as a curfew holds in Newark. Ron DeSantis pushes his case for eliminating Florida homestead property taxes, arguing tourist revenue can absorb the cost in a way no other state can replicate. Graham Platner loses The View and Cory Booker in the same news cycle as his Maine Senate campaign crumbles under the weight of sexting allegations, Nazi tattoo history, and a suspicious app account. Aaron closes with Rep. Tim Burchett's pitch to replace the 250th birthday concert dropouts with John Rich, Kid Rock, and Lee Greenwood, and the story of Henry Nowak, the British student handcuffed by police as he bled to death from a stab wound after his killer falsely claimed to be the victim.

A British woman sits in a small room in 1923 with a pencil in her hand and begins to write. She is taking dictation. The source on the other end is not in the room — possibly not in this universe at all. Over the next two years, that source delivers what it calls the operating system of reality. A complete architecture of how the cosmos works, how matter is built, where consciousness comes from, and what evil actually is.   The text remained private inside her magical lodge for sixty-six years. When it was finally published it described the geometry of existence with a precision modern physics has spent the last century catching up to. Strap in. The woman was Dion Fortune who we recently discussed in our episode on the woman who weaponized magic and the book is the cosmic doctrine.  

GM Simon Williams returns to Perpetual Chess for the first time in several years. Simon is one of chess's most recognizable personalities, known as the Ginger GM through his work as a streamer, commentator, author and Chessable creator. He is also an accomplished tournament player, having shared first in the 2010 London Chess Classic and finished second in the 2004 British Championship. Simon joined me for a wide-ranging conversation covering both chess and life. We discussed: • His candid reflections on becoming involved with a pension company that later collapsed, the mistakes he made, and how he has worked to move forward • His new role helping revitalize Chesspublishing.com, and why he believes its archive of opening analysis remains an underappreciated resource • How modern opening preparation has changed, and why Simon increasingly relies on offbeat ideas to avoid preparation battles • His love of creative, attacking chess and the memorable games he has played at the Reykjavik Open We also discussed the Stonewall Dutch, rising British star Bodhana Sivanandan, the losses of IM Adam Hunt and GM Jonathan Hawkins, and even Simon's thoughts on Las Vegas. As always, it was great catching up with Simon, and I am glad to see him creating chess content again.   00:00 The 2026 Reykjavik Open and Simon's flair for the dramatic chess game  Check out Simon's epic queen sacrifice in this article by NM Anthony Levin: https://www.chess.com/news/view/2023-reykjavik-open-williams-sacrifices-queen#:~:text=Williams%27%20Brilliancy,he%20played%20the%20interesting%205. 04:45 How Simon has adapted his approach to openings in the engine age  Mentioned: Simon's game vs. Bodhana Sivanadan https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=3124933 07:35 Playing Against Younger Opponents 10:38 The State of British Chess 13:32 Exploring the Stonewall Dutch Mentioned: Bronstein's famous blunder-  https://www.chess.com/blog/ThummimS/the-1951-world-chess-championship 16:32 The Impact of Computer Analysis 19:39 Experiences playing against legends at the 2025 European Club Cup 22:26 Simon's Involvement with Chess Publishing More background info here: https://www.chess.com/news/view/simon-williams-ordered-to-pay-back-900-000-to-pension-scheme 26:30 Innovative Chess Solutions 28:11 Lessons learned from working for a pension firm that went bankrupt.  35:42 Navigating Financial Mistakes 40:17 The Importance of Chess in Life 44:48 Content Creation and Future Projects Keep an eye out for The Ginger and The Bear podcast! 48:54 Remembering IM Adam Hunt and GM Jonathan Hawkins  50:00- How to keep up with GM Simon Williams Suggestions for Chesspublishing.com  https://www.chesspublishing.com/contact X: https://x.com/ginger_gm?lang=en YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/gingergm Learn more about your ad choices.

Take pleasure in the gut-wrenching excitement of a 90s action milestone! This week on The Dana Buckler Show, we are heading straight to Alcatraz to break down Michael Bay's 1996 definitive high-concept thriller, The Rock.Coming off the success of Bad Boys, Michael Bay was handed the keys to a massive blockbuster budget, a killer premise, and an absolutely legendary cast. The result? A beautifully shot, fast-paced, explosion-filled masterpiece that stands as a high-water mark for the golden era of 90s action cinema and Hollywood summer blockbusters.In this cinema retrospective, film historian Dana Buckler dives deep into: The Powerhouse Trio: The incredible, lightning-in-a-bottle chemistry between Nicolas Cage's frantic, vinyl-loving FBI chemical weapons expert Stanley Goodspeed and Sean Connery's sophisticated, badass British operative John Patrick Mason. The Sympathetic Villain: Ed Harris's brilliant, nuanced performance as General Hummel—an antagonist with legitimate, tragic motives that elevate the stakes way beyond a standard hostage situation. The Pinnacle of 90s Action: From the iconic, destructive Ferrari car chase through the streets of San Francisco to the brutal shower room standoff, we break down why the practical effects and set pieces in this film still hold up today. The Uncredited Script Doctors: How Hollywood legends like Quentin Tarantino, Aaron Sorkin, and Jonathan Hensleigh secretly helped polish the razor-sharp dialogue. Whether you're a long-time fan who can quote "Your best! Losers always whine about their best" line-for-line, or you're revisiting this classic Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer production era for the first time, grab your green smoke and join us for the ultimate film review.Welcome to The Rock!Join our Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/danabucklershowJoin my Patreon for early access to all episodes, plus a new exclusive podcast, go to Patreon.com/howisthismovieSubscribe to the podcast on your favorite podcast platform by going to https://linktr.ee/DanaBucklerShowJoin our Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/danabucklershowJoin Our Patreon for early access to all episodes, plus a new exclusive podcast, go to Patreon.com/howisthismovie #TheRock #TheDanaBuckler Show #90sAction #NicolasCage #SeanConnery #MichaelBay #FilmPodcast #MovieHistory #CinemaRetrospective #ActionMovies #90sCinema #FilmBuff

Double Tap - Ep 464 This episode of Double Tap is brought to you by: Gideon Optics (Code: WLSISLIFE) Night Fision (Code: WLSISLIFE) Rost Martin (Code: WLSISLIFE) Flatline Fiber Co (Code: WLS15) Foxtrot Mike (Code: WLSISLIFE) Text Dear WLS or Reviews +1 743 500 2171 Public   Show Titles   GOA GOALS Aug 1-2 in Iowa. https://goals.goa.org/ GunCon.net Tickets on sale now. Use code AGENCY171 DEAR WLS Question from JackB from TX On double tap 451 Nick said he would know he was successful when he ordered a custom double rifle. I always say something similar, which is if I win the lottery I'm telling no one, but there would be signs. Like the sudden acquisition of a custom double rifle.My first question is, if the cast were going to order custom double rifles, what caliber would you choose? If Shawn wants to make H&H invent a 171 WLS for him, that's dope, but what would your second choice be? Followup question to help me choose my caliber. If I got one, I'd want one of the classic elephant gun Calibers. I love 45-70 but it just wouldn seem right. So of those old safari calibers which ones have milder recoil and are still somewhat commercially available? -JackB Question from Jaqin Ta'Sox from Connecticut From: Jaqin Ta'Sox: Dear WLS In double tap 451 at 19:58 minutes, someone asks about deadly force against a bull horn to the ear. I understand an ass whoopin is absolutely due in that situation, BUT I find it kind of interesting. Like Jerambey said, it is permanent bodily harm. Just like if someone tries to use a laser pointer to blind you, deadly force is a go, but not for permanent hearing loss? Question from Anonymous Coward from Texas What is the best way to form 1 a homemade suppressor? Looking at mostly finger printing that can be reused. But also looking at design requirements like length and such. Question from Duke from Texas Duke of CrudeSo I was crusing Armslist looking for some travel guns and came across a mosin nagant for $495. I had an epiphany over that post. What if the mosin was worth the same but inflation was just so terrible that now a $95 dollar gun in 2002 is $495 dollars today? Just some food for thought before AI takes over. Thanks for the laughs! Duke Question from Anonymous Coward from Washington Shawn has been on a geeky mission for a while. I am wondering if he can geek out and make a universal shopping cart that using his web crawler A/I skills could check multiple sites to see if products are available from one source. Example I am ordering some area 419 products, a few CZ mags and a kydex cheek riser. I am bound to pay shipping from 3 separate sites. I am trying to see if there is one source carrying what I need. Keep up the good work Shawn getting deeper back into his tech roots but staying a gun guy at heart is bringing rewards for all of us. GUN INDUSTRY NEWS THEFIREARMBLOG.COM Edgar Sherman Design Notch Precision Shooting Bag Shooting bags don't exactly get a lot of innovation press.The category has been dominated by the same handful of designs for years, and for good reason: a well-executed bag filled with the right material and wrapped in grippy fabric solves most problems a precision shooter will ever encounter on a stage or in the field.New entrants that bring something genuinely different to that conversation are rare enough to be worth paying attention to when they show up.

Emails reportedly handed to Buckingham Palace in 2020 appeared to show that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor shared confidential government information while serving as a UK trade envoy. According to the report, the cache contained more than 30,000 emails, allegedly from the account of British businessman Jonathan Rowland, an associate of Andrew's, and included material connected to Andrew's financial dealings. The emails were reportedly sent to the Lord Chamberlain six years ago, months after Andrew stepped back from royal duties following his disastrous Newsnight interview over his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew was later arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office over allegations that he passed sensitive government information to Epstein while working as a trade envoy; he denies wrongdoing.The most damaging part is the timeline: if these emails were already in Palace hands in 2020, then the question becomes what Buckingham Palace knew, what it did with that information, and whether serious concerns about Andrew's trade envoy conduct were allowed to sit quietly for years. The report also ties the emails to earlier claims that Andrew requested confidential Treasury information about Iceland's financial crisis in 2010 and then passed details to Jonathan Rowland before a business move involving Kaupthing Bank. With police inquiries still ongoing, the Palace declined to comment, citing the investigation, but the story adds another layer to the broader Andrew scandal: Epstein was not the only issue — the allegations now reach into Andrew's official government role, his business contacts, and the possibility that warning signs were sitting inside the royal household years before public accountability caught up.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Palace was given emails about Andrew's trade envoy activities six years ago, report says | UK news | The Guardian

 Yorktown was not the end!  Though Cornwallis surrendered, the British still held New York, Charleston, and Savannah, and the Americans did not control the western frontier.  Would 1782 bring a renewed British campaign to secure the American colonies?  Could the United States win its independence?   Military historian Craig Bruce Smith, professor of history at National Defense University, joins us to talk about his new book, Securing Victory, 1781-1783, part of The U.S. Army Campaigns of the Revolutionary War series, which looks at this critical, but often under-reported period, when the United States actually able to secure its independence,  control of the territory extending to the Mississippi River, and the hard-won gains of the war. Tell us what you think!

Episode 421: On July 28, 1996, a fisherman hauling nets off the coast of Devon, England pulled up a body. The dead man had no wallet, no identification — nothing but a Rolex watch still ticking on his wrist. When British police traced the watch, it gave them a name: Ronald Joseph Platt, 51, of Essex. When they went looking for him, they found him — apparently alive. The trail led back across the Atlantic to Ayr, a small town in southwestern Ontario, where roughly seventy people had spent years trusting the wrong man with everything they had. By the time anyone understood what he'd done, he was already gone, and Ronald Platt was dead in the English Channel.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: Despite Iran's threats, some commercial ships are quietly slipping through the Strait of Hormuz with U.S. assistance, raising new questions about whether Tehran's control over the strategic waterway is as absolute as the regime claims. President Trump is reportedly seeking tougher terms in a proposed agreement with Iran, sending a draft framework negotiated by his own envoys back for revisions as negotiations continue. British intelligence now estimates that nearly 500,000 Russian troops have been killed since the start of the war in Ukraine, offering a sobering assessment of the conflict's human cost to Moscow.

In the summer of 1940, Britain stood alone. France had fallen, invasion seemed possible, and Winston Churchill faced a grave question: what should be done about the powerful French fleet? Fearing it might fall under German control, Britain launched Operation Catapult. At Mers el Kébir on 3 July 1940, the Royal Navy opened fire on its former ally, killing nearly 1,300 French sailors in one of the war's most painful and controversial decisions. For this episode, I am joined by Edward Abel Smith, author of 'A Hateful Decision', which tells the full story of this dramatic moment through new research and eyewitness accounts.

And, with two by-elections on the horizon, what consequences could there be for the SNP?Finally: the boys discuss the latest poll showing Trade Union support ebbing away from Labour towards Reform. So – continuing the Dickensian metaphor (sorry) – could this be Labour's very own ghost of Christmas future?Produced by Megan McElroy and Patrick Gibbons.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

"Half Man" is a British six-part television drama created by multi-Emmy Award winner Richard Gadd ("Baby Reindeer") about Ruben (Stuart Campbell) and Niall (Mitchell Robertson), who grew up as brothers despite not being related by blood—one strong and fiercely loyal, the other quiet and gentle. Thirty years later, they reunite at Niall's (Jamie Bell) wedding, but Ruben (Gadd) seems uneasy and on edge; when a sudden act of violence erupts, it sends the story back through their shared past, revealing how their bond was shaped and how even the closest relationships can ultimately fall apart. It received positive reviews for its blistering writing, direction from Alexandra Brodski and Eshref Reybrouck, and the performances from the cast. It has been nominated for two Gotham TV Awards, including Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series and Outstanding Lead Performance in a Limited or Anthology Series for Bell. Gadd and director Alexandra Brodski were both kind enough to spend some time talking with us about their work and experiences making the series, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the series, which is up for your consideration for this year's Emmy Awards and is now available to stream on HBO Max. Thank you, and enjoy!

What are the biggest problems facing the economy - and how might we set about dealing with them - from inequality to inflation, domestic growth to geopolitics? On Radio 4's weekly discussion programme, setting the cultural agenda every Monday, Tom Sutcliffe leads a conversation exploring what the solutions might look like.Jeremy Hunt's new book Can We Be Rich Again?: The Surprising Potential of Britain's Economy makes the case for optimism. The former Chancellor of the Exchequer outlines current problems – low growth, high public debt and taxes, stagnant living standards and divided politics, but he argues Britain still has a lot going for it - the tech sector, financial services and respected institutions. He says if the British economy is to grow again, politicians need to get better at delivering their plans.Mariana Mazzucato believes we need to rethink the way we manage economics with government and business working together to promote human flourishing. For her, the problems are deepening inequality, the climate crisis and declining public trust. She is Professor in the Economics of Innovation and Public Value at University College, London where she is the Founding Director of the Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose. Her new book The Common Good Economy: A New Compass sets out how the economy could be designed to serve people and the planet better.And, how has the way that we think and talk about the global economy and national problems changed in recent years? Patrick Foulis is contributing editor at the Financial Times, a visiting scholar at the Hoover Institution and author of a forthcoming book on globalisation. Producer: Ruth Watts
