In this episode of the TPPI Podcast, we present plenary session 3, entitled “Economic Democracy and Political Participation,” from day 1 of Political Economy and the Good Life: The 2024 Postliberalism Conference. This session was moderated by Imogen Sinclair, Director of the New Social Covenant Unit. The panel featured presentations from the following four speakers:

  • Dan Carden MP, Labour Member of Parliament for Liverpool, Walton since 2017;

  • Jonathan C.D. Clark, British historian; Joyce C. and Elizabeth Ann Hall Distinguished Professor Emeritus of British History, University of Kansas;

  • Will Hutton, President, Academy of Social Sciences; columnist, The Observer; author of This Time No Mistakes (2024); and

The 2024 Postliberalism Conference took place on December 13–14, 2024, in the McCrum Lecture Theatre, Corpus Christi College, University of Cambridge, UK. Co-sponsored by the Telos-Paul Piccone Institute, the Centre for Social Renewal, Energeia, and Plough, the conference brought together leading academics, politicians, policymakers, and journalists to explore the errors and excesses of liberalism and to conceptualize constructive alternatives to its worldview and to the dominant theoretical models that underpin it.
