How did we come to live in a world dominated by big tech and finance? In this video, Jeremy Gilbert and Alex Williams explore how these forces have shaped the direction of politics and government as well as the neoliberal economy to benefit their own interests. 

They discuss the concept of hegemony—the importance of passive consent; the complexity of political interests; and the structural force of technology—and why we need an updated theory of power for the twenty-first century.

Jeremy Gilbert and Alex Williams are the authors of Hegemony Now: How Big Tech and Wall Street Won the World (And How We Win it Back) https://www.versobooks.com/books/4015-hegemony-now?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=hegemony-now-videos

Reducing coal consumption is crucial for China's sustainable development. To achieve this goal, the Chinese government has implemented various policies aimed at promoting a transition to clean energy, such as the "coal to gas" and "coal to electricity" initiatives. In this particular episode, Lydia Qui, an alumna of the MSc PIE program and currently a Risk analyst at TikTok, focuses on the metropolitan region of Jing-Jin-Ji. She analyses the impact of the "coal to gas" and "coal to electricity" policies on the winter heating sector, a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions. During their conversation, Onya and Lydia discuss the key characteristics, impacts, limitations, and differences between these policies. They also delve into the consequences of implementing these policies for the residents of Jing-Jin-Ji, as well as the implications of Lydia's findings for policymakers and corporations.

Urban greenspaces not only have environmental benefits, but they also have social benefits. They are spaces that bring communities together and contribute to mental health and wellbeing. While these spaces are important and, on the surface, seem to be accessible to all, research by former MSc Global Prosperity student Nyma Haqqani shows that these spaces are in fact inaccessible to ethnic minority groups. How do we achieve environmental equity for all and contribute to the creation and promotion of socially sustainable cities? Nyma Haqqani (Social Consultant and MSc Global Prosperity alumni) and Paul Ely (Trustee for the National Federation of Parks and Green Spaces) join this conversation about urban greenspaces and community-led approaches to social inclusion.
