When formulating policy, it is incredibly helpful to understand emerging trains of thought which broaden our own rationalisation of the world around us. Guy Standing does a fantastic job of merging lessons from our history with the contemporary systemic issues we see today. Not often do you get the chance to listen to an individual who speaks with passion, clarity and intellect. A presentation and Q&A we guarantee you will walk away from feeling energised and with plenty of food for thought.
