Labour’s Rule Book commits our party to building a society where “power, wealth and opportunity are in the hands of the many, not the few”. But what does that mean in practice - and how do we get there?

Join us for a discussion on what it would take to build a truly democratic economy, drawing on the ideas from Mainstream’s recent publication, The Productive State, and beyond. We’ll explore how a Labour government can devolve economic power, spread prosperity, and give people and communities a greater stake in the decisions that shape their lives.

Come and discuss what a more democratic economy could look like - and how we can make it happen.

We'll be joined by:

• Kerry Postlewhite, Chair of Mainstream
• Mathew Lawrence, Co-author of The Productive State: A Framework for Manchesterism
• Rose Marley, CEO of Co-operatives UK
• Sofia Ropek-Hewson, Senior Research Fellow and Interim Head of the National Renewal Programme at IPPR
• Barry Gardiner, Labour MP for Brent West
