Britain is riven by scandal, recession and growing inequality. Meanwhile efforts at European integration are placing the needs of finance over the demands of democratic publics. There is a growing awareness that the economic sphere is shaped in crucial ways by the political and claims that constitutional reform is not a bread and butter issue become increasingly absurd with every bout of quantitative easing by the central bank. £375 billion buys a lot of bread and butter.

What does a meaningful programme of constitutional reform look like? How do we secure it? Come and talk about these ideas with Dan Hind, the author of The Return of the Public and Common Sense.

 

 

Dan Hind is the author of two books, The Threat to Reason and The Return of the Public. His pamphlet Common Sense: Occupation, Assembly, and the Future of Liberty, was published as an e-book in March. You can read an interview with Dan about the themes of the pamphlet here.

Dan also writes for Al-Jazeera and The Occupied Times, and has spoken at the RSA.
