The @IIPP_UCL Forum 2026: Rethinking the State begins today at Senate House. Two days on state capabilities, mission-oriented policy and economics of the common good––from city governments to green industrial strategy to the future of public finance.

This evening at 18:00 BST I'll be presenting my new book, The Common Good Economy. In trying to put the ideas in my previous books into practice, it became clear that we need not only an entrepreneurial state and mission-oriented policies but an economics that has a clear understand of what 'good' looks like, and how we work together to achieve it.

@IIPP_UCL Join me this evening for my book talk on The Common Good Economy: a new compass. Honoured to be joined on stage by Lord Victor Adebowale CBE [@Voa1234]

Spoke at #LSEFestival today about my new book, The Common Good Economy. Thank you to Larry Kramer and the audience for their incisive questions.

Philosophy has always had a rich tradition of the common good—from Aristotle’s telos and polis to Sandel’s critique of Rawls. Economics has not.

We have public goods, but that is a theory of what the private sector fails to provide. We have the commons, but that is a correction to governance failure. Neither constitutes a positive theory of good.

The Common Good Economy attempts to bring that tradition into economics—with a compass that asks not which failure to fix but what kind of economy we are trying to build.

Growth is not a mission – it is an outcome of missions done well. To deliver a fair, green transition, the UK government must get this logic right. Read our new policy report with @annahopeemerson and @annapick_ at the link in replies.

At #LSEFestival today delivering a keynote on my new book, The Common Good Economy; followed by a discussion with Larry Kramer, President of @LSEnews.
The question is not just what goals we set but how we actually reach them together. That is the argument of The Common Good Economy.

One week after the launch of the #GlobalJusticeReport, we've received a wide range of reactions. We're grateful for the many comments, critiques, and questions we've received so far, and we hope the discussions continue in the weeks ahead. We see the report as a contribution to a broader public debate.

Here are three common criticisms we'd like to address:

1) “The report proposes a radical de-growth agenda”
2) "The report uses an unrealistically pessimistic 4.5°C warming scenario."
3) "The report is a utopian dream."

Governments increasingly frame procurement as a climate tool. But most green procurement frameworks intervene only at the point of purchase, missing procurement's potential to shape markets along the innovation chain.

Our new @IIPP_UCL working paper with @AnnaHopeEmerson sets out what a green, mission-oriented approach would look like: https://t.co/ydCyPBYYD1

We are good at setting goals — the SDGs, climate targets, pandemic preparedness frameworks. We are bad at achieving them. The compass explains why: we have not learned how to govern the how. The common good is not only about the goal but the way it is achieved.

I'll be at @LSEnews #LSEFestival on 15 June in conversation with Larry Kramer. The festival theme is How to Save the Planet; and The Common Good Economy argues that saving it requires not just new policies but a new economic theory of the common good.
