Transforming local economies: the Preston Model – a Taxcast special edition, May 2019

In this special extended edition of the May 2019 Taxcast we go to Preston in the North of England to see the Preston Model in action – how they’re transforming their local economy and democratizing wealth. Also: dark money and the European elections – elite interests aligning with the far right. And we ask: why doesn’t Britain have its own Huawei?

Featuring:

  • Preston City Council Leader, Matthew Brown
  • Billy, Preston covered market
  • Allison Watts and Kay Johnson in Preston’s first worker-owned cooperative The Larder
  • David Erdal, who turned his family business into an employee-owned cooperative
  • John Christensen of the Tax Justice Network
  • Presented and produced by Naomi Fowler of the Tax Justice Network
