About this Event
Heffers is delighted to host Natalie as she discusses the premise of her new book. Namellt that the decades-old political orthodoxy, that greed is good, inequality doesn’t matter and we can
keep treating the planet as a mine and a dumping ground, has been a recipe for disaster. Our
world needs a new vision, the Green vision. From Universal Basic Income to free education, from less stuff but more life, to genuine democratic opportunities for all, Natalie Bennett brings together a holistic, hopeful and practical vision for the future.
Natalie Bennett, or Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle for really formal
occasions, was leader of the Green Party of England and Wales 2012-
2016, and entered the House of Lords in 2019. That’s meant a decade
travelling the country speaking at public meetings, in schools, colleges
and universities, and hearing about the many great grassroots efforts
being made to tackle our polycrises. She has degrees in agricultural
science, humanities and social science, reflecting her passion for
joined-up, systems thinking, rather than reductionist, 20th-centurystyle
approaches. She was editor of the Guardian Weekly, chief subeditor
on the Bangkok Post, and a volunteer at the Thai National
Commission on Women’s Affairs. She grew up on the lands of the
Wallumedegal people in northern Sydney.
