Co-op Congress 2024 | Membership worth owning and conversations worth having

The economy is not broken... it's working exactly as planned. Acclaimed journalist and economic commentator, Grace Blakeley, opens this session with a provocation designed to inspire discussion about collectivism (and why encouraging it threatens the status quo). Following on from Grace, who has authored several books, including Vulture Capitalism: Corporate Crimes, Backdoor Bailouts and the Death of Freedom, hear from Kenyatte Nelson on Co-op Group's exciting plans to challenge individualism and bring back 'the true meaning of co-operatives' to the UK. It’s a conversation we need to have so we invited Nihal Arthanyake, author and award-winning broadcaster, to guide us. This session is moderated by Co-operatives UK's Rose Marley
