A Movement in Government? // The World Transformed

« Back to programme

What will it take to bring about a fundamental re-ordering of our economy ‘for the many not the few’? What challenges will a Corbyn government face, from financial markets to the British state? How do we move from broad visions to clear-eyed strategy, sharpening our plans and mobilising the necessary social forces? What historical lessons can we draw upon, and how might we deploy our greatest asset - our growing movement - to deliver radical change? Come and discuss.
