Kate Pickett in conversation with Danny Dorling - Act Now, A vision for a better future and a new social contract

Seeking to understand the pulse of the nation, Kate Pickett and Danny Dorling present a compelling and achievable vision for a progressive future. They outline policies for welfare, health and social care, education, housing, universal basic income and more.

Arguing for a rolling forward of the state, they set out a radical vision for a Green New Deal, nationally owned and operated health and social care, and the removal of the state-led transfer of wealth to private landlords and speculators in the process, amongst other reforms.

Presents cutting-edge policies on welfare, health, social care, education, housing and a clear, evidenced plan for progressive reform.
