Join Jonathan Wistow and Luke Telford (University of York) for a fascinating discussion of their new book, Levelling Up the UK Economy: The Need for Transformative Change
Drawing on a range of evidence, the authors provide insights about the agenda, answering questions such as: How has the shift from post-war capitalism to a post-industrial and neoliberal society impacted spatial inequalities? What is the role of local government relative to the agenda laid out in the 2022 Levelling Up White Paper? And what kind of conclusions can be drawn by looking at ‘left behind’ places such as Redcar and Cleeveland in Teesside?
Discover what kind of transformative changes are needed in the political economy to achieve the ambition to Level Up.
