UCL Institute for Global Prosperity

Join us for a Director's Seminar to celebrate the launch of the new book 'Prosperity in the Twenty-First Century'.

Denys Holland Lecture Theatre, SB31, in Bentham House

For the first Director's Seminar of the academic year, UCL Institute for Global Prosperity is celebrating the publication of the second book in our ‘Global Prosperity Thought and Practice’ series.<a href="https://www.uclpress.co.uk/products/211173" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Prosperity in the Twenty-First Century. Concepts, models and metrics</a> sets out a new vision for prosperity in the twenty-first century and how it can be achieved for all.The volume, which is freely available online, challenges orthodox understandings of economic models, but goes beyond contemporary debates to show how social innovation drives economic value. Drawing on substantive research in the UK, Lebanon and Kenya, it develops new concepts, frameworks, models and metrics for prosperity across a wide range of contexts, emphasising commonalities and differences. Its distinctive approach goes beyond defining and measuring prosperity – addressing the debate about the failures of GDP – to formulating and describing what is needed to make prosperity a realisable proposition for specific people living in specific locales.Speakers at this event will include Professor Jo Beall (LSE), Dr Matthew Davies (University of Cambridge), Dr Marit Hammond (Keele University) and Dr Ruth Yeoman (Kellogg College, University of Oxford), and the event will be chaired by UCL Institute for Global Prosperity Director Professor Henrietta L. Moore.This event will be recorded and uploaded to our <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@glo__pro" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">YouTube channel</a> after the event.<h3>Accessibility</h3><a href="https://www.accessable.co.uk/venues/bentham-house" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">An access guide to Bentham House can be found on AccessAble</a><h3>About this event series</h3>Cultural Spaces for Democratic Participation, Political Expression and Shared ProsperityThis Director’s Seminars and Soundbites series explores how citizens mobilize new physical and digital channels of political participation, and what can be done to create and adapt these cultural spaces so as they make positive impact on democratic life in the 21st Century.<a href="https://www.ucl.ac.uk/bartlett/igp/soundbites-and-directors-seminars" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">For more events in this series visit our website.</a>
