About SPERI Presents...
'SPERI Presents…' is a podcast taking on the big questions in political economy for scholars, students and publics within and beyond the discipline. We also host 'New Thinking in Political Economy', an ongoing series with monthly episodes. Dr Remi Edwards is joined by authors of new research to explore the motivations behind, contributions and implications of their work for understanding power and politics in the global economy. The first limited series was 'Lessons in Power'. Professor Michael Jacobs and Mems Ayinla interview ministers and advisors from the New Labour administration (1997-2010) to tease out lessons on a range of issues for Keir Starmer’s newly formed Labour government. Coming soon: Crisis Point hosted by Chris Saltmarsh and Dr Dillon Wamsley. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy (https://acast.com/privacy) for more information.

[…] But the diversity of that elite is, you know, is more diverse than the kind of the elite of the past, if you like. The majority of those assetocrats, as I call them, were appointed post 2010. And we can come back to that. But if I just give you a kind of paint a big broad brushstroke picture for a second or two about what the data tells, because I guess there's some people who just want to know. Give me some more figures or whatever. So how elitist is the Lords? If I just tell you, and some of this we knew a little bit about before, but let me just give you a kind of up-to-date version of some of this very, very quickly. […]
