JOSH IN NEW ZEALAND: Eat the Rich? (or just the sheep)

This week, Josh is in idyllic antipodean New Zealand. But how idyllic is it really? Is the land of Middle Earth a frontrunning case study on how rising wealth inequality can erode democratic trust, distort political influence, and weaken the shared civic life that democracy depends on? Max Rashbrooke is a journalist, political writer and researcher, and joins Josh to discuss whether deeper citizen participation, from citizens’ assemblies to participatory budgeting, could renew democratic legitimacy in an era of economic imbalance.
