You can download the episode directly here.
This week, Jonathon Shafi and Craig Dalzell react to the UK Budget exploring the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak but also the implications of the budget for Tory Austerity and the prospects for Scotland by comparing this budget both to the prevalling ideology in the Scottish Government - that of the Sustainable Growth Commission - and to the needs of a Scottish Green New Deal.
Also mention was Common Weal's three step roadmap for Scottish independence.
The pre-referendum strategy paper Within Our Grasp.
The pre-Independence Day strategy How to Start a New Country.
And the post-independence Green New Deal plan, Our Common Home.
More about the Common Home project can be found at the website https://commonweal.scot/our-common-home
The books can be bought at the Common Weal shop here.
And the policy papers and technical reports mentioned can all be found in the Common Weal Policy Library.
