iPPR - Thinking for Tomorrow

Over the next three weeks - while NZ is on holiday - I have a mind to post links and pointers to some of the people and places that come across my desktop.

The first is from the newsletter from the UK iPPR - The Institute for Public Policy Research.

ippr e-newsletter 19 December 2008

"ippr has launched a brand-new series of arguments and debates about some of the major policy and political challenges of the coming decades.

The Politics of Recession
The first of the Thinking for Tomorrow events was a roundtable discussion with Labour's Jon Cruddas MP on 'The Politics of the Recession'.

In a conversation with a panel including Martin Kettle from the Guardian and Rupa Huq from Kingston University, Jon maintains that the banking crisis and emerging economic recession signal a major watershed in our political life.
