**Roundtable** - The Cost-of-Living Crisis & Austerity

Looking at the challenges we face, as one of the richest nations in the world, and a government who have spent billions, how are we in this position whereby so many people are choosing between heating and eating?  This was the central question that initiated today’s episode as Craig Taylor (Gratitude), Juliet Davenport (Founder, Good Energy), Katy Chakrabortty (Oxfam), Morris Pearl (Patriotic Millionaires), Ryan Curtis-Johnson (The Valuable 500) and I (Purpose Made) explore:1). The Challenges of the Cost-of-Living Crisis and Austerity 2). Thoughts on the Autumn Budget and3). Solutions at hand driven by the discussion held A central take home from today’s episode is we need to cultivate future-conscious thinking and behaviour, to build more hopeful visions of the future, and turn those visions into action, specifically: -       Transforming mindsets from reactionary short-termism to the long-term-       Widening our scope beyond today to tomorrow & -       Focus on the long path beyond the shortcut.I really enjoyed this one and I hope you do too. My hope is that the words spoken offer you a sense of perspective, that is honest and hopeful. But more than anything, my hope is that today’s episode will inspire you to act with us. As when you see what is possible, change is inevitable. Enjoy!Time Stamp00:00:00 – 0:04:55 IntroductionsPart 1: The Challenges0:04:55 – 0:09:49 Heating vs Eating0:09:49 – 0:12:50 Housing, Energy & Direct Impacts0:12:50 – 0:14:55 Real Term Effects of The Cost-Of-Living Crisis & Austerity0:14:55 – 0:22:16 The Cycles of Austerity & Decision Making0:22:16 – 0:27:27 The IMF, Austerity & International Aid0:27:27 – 0:30:59 A Performance Review Of The British GovernmentPart 2: A Critique of the Autumn Budget And Beyond0:30:59 – 0:40:27 Autumn Budget/Statement – A Critique0:40:27 – 0:44:18 The Games Industry & Changing The Game0:44:18 – 0:48:38 The World Has Evolved & Changed0:48:38 – 0:51:45 Inclusivity Beyond Inequality 0:51:45 – 0:56:33 The Impact of Silicon Valley (Twitter, Meta & Beyond)Part 3: Solutions0:56:33 – 0:59:45 Cultivating Future-Conscious Thinking & Behaviours0:59:45 – 1:01:01 Play Mob, The United Nations & Mission1point51:01:01 – 1:06:00 Tax1:06:00 – 1:16:18 Alternatives To Austerity1:16:18 – 1:19:52 The Purple Pound1:19:52 – 1:21:39 Holistic Thinking, Collaboration, Collective Action/Accountability1:21:39 -1:29:42 Closing Points To Inspire Change Join our tribe and lets grow together https://plus.acast.com/s/purpose-made-podcast.
