Hello and welcome to Politics Theory Other.

In June, the Progressive Economics 2022 conference, a one-day festival of transformative economic thinking,

Speakers included Gargi Batacharya, Aran Bananav, Francesca Breer, James Medway, Kate Pickett,

John McDonnell MP, and David Edgerton, amongst many others.
