Working Class Voices #7 Níall Glynn

Wednesday, May 18, 2022

Our Ads is on a mission to understand why the working class is so hesitant to get involved in the climate movement in its current form. Each week he'll be talking to climate-conscious people who identify as working class to discover their thoughts on how working class people can become a force in the fight for our very survival.#

This week Ads is joined by Níall Glynn, founder of Working Class Economist Group (@TheWCEG).  They discuss why he setup WCEG, Growing up in Manchester and Belfast,   how the working class became individualized, why having the opportunity to travel can help develop class and environmental consciousness and how and why the two need blending together.
