Jeremy Corbyn’s comprehensive victory in the Labour leadership election confounded the British establishment, many of whom poured scorn on his anti-austerity stance even though the SNP had stormed to victory in the General Election in Scotland on an anti-austerity platform.
This conference will discuss and debate co-operative and radical alternatives to austerity and capitalism and help us shape our vision of a prosperous caring society based on a People’s Economy.
The new Labour leadership says that nationalisation of some services will be accompanied by co-operative democratic principles in a new People’s Economy. How can this be made to work? The challenge is ours and the time is now!
This conference will bring together experts and activists united in a single desire – to thrash out how a People’s Economy can be shaped to benefit everyone
Who Should Attend: The conference has been organised by Co-operative Business Consultants (CBC) in response to widespread enthusiasm amongst co-operators, trade unionists and anti-austerity party and social enterprise activists for shaping new progressive policies to combat the austerity agenda and create a society in which all can prosper. It is open to all those seeking to create a prosperous caring society.
