The Blavatnik worldview, book talk

A talk on a new book by Pepper Culpepper on how corporate scandals could be used to save liberal "democracy". This talk is the familiar fantasy of elitist institutions like the Blavatnik School, Oxford.

Blavatnik Book Launch: Billionaire Backlash

Join us for the launch of Billionaire Backlash: The Age of Corporate Scandal and How It Could Save Democracy, the new book by Pepper Culpepper and Taeku Lee Join Pepper Culpepper, Vice Dean for Academic Affairs and the Blavatnik Professor of Government and Public Policy, in conversation with Gillian Tett, Provost of King's College Cambridge, moderated by Ngaire Woods, Dean of the Blavatnik School of Government, on the surprising story of how corporate scandals - from Enron to the Facebook privacy scandal - change the way the world works for the better. In Billionaire Backlash, Pepper Culpepper and Taeku Lee draw on a decade of research on policymaking and public opinion to show us how scandals can ignite a public with few political outlets for their discontent. Scandals don't simply dominate news cycles: they can provoke us to demand better policy, spurring governments to adopt rules that protect us from massive corporations run amok. They reveal how the shared anger of citizens hints at a latent view in public opinion – ‘good populism’ – that has the potential to reinvigorate our failing democracies. One scandal at a time.
