Politics of Being - Thomas Legrand

What might it look like to live in a world that combines ancient wisdom with newer ideas about sustainable development?
In his recent book Politics of Being, the social scientist Thomas Legrand explores the potential for reframing policies in terms of relationships.
At the heart of his vision is an inner transformation - a shift in perspective from "me" to "we".
Although this is rooted in a spiritual worldview, Thomas says it’s more about human ideals of freedom, virtue, truth and understanding - plus peace, love and happiness.
We discuss how to cultivate these qualities, both individually and as a society, with reference to real-life examples.
However, we also reflect on obstacles to change - from entrenched vested interests to the underlying craving that fuels an economy addicted to growth.
