Political Economy

The group considers topics in a very deep, radical way and is happy with a wide range of opinions being expressed. Each member takes the lead on a topic at least once a year, starting the meeting with up to 20 minutes of dialogue before opening it to the rest of the members, and sends round a summary of what is to be explored a week beforehand. Topics could include planning, land redistribution, oil and energy, how the markets work, gender, AI, digital and democratic theory, all as part of new political economy: the idea is that if people know where they've been, they can have a better idea of where they are going. Meetings are at a central Bristol pub. Currently full, with a waiting list.
