Getting Better, Together

Getting To Better Together

The basic assumption of getting to better together is that, when faced with common concerns, people will want to do that - or at least recognise that they (we!) need to do so. Even when these concerns are pressing, however, all too often, we simply ignore the need for communal discussion and action and hope that the proverbial ‘others’ will act in our interests.

Richard’s guest in this episode, Professor Valerie Brown, has been attacking this dilemma as both a very distinguished researcher and a passionate activist in her long-time quest for nothing less than sustainable futures. Here she reveals a treasure trove of insights gained from that work.
