Academy of Ideas show

Summary: A debate from the Institute's "Justice Money Power" series at the City of London Festival2015 marks the deadline of the Millennium Development Goals. 25 years on from the publication of the UN’s first Human Development Report, attitudes towards social justice have changed profoundly.
