Blue Community Ambassador Andreas Bieler, Professor of Political Economy at the School of Politics and International Relations, University of Nottingham, announces and invites:
Lunchtime Zoom seminar with Kate Bayliss and David Hall on Private Water in Trouble: Where next for the British water industry? on Friday, 21 March from 12 noon to 1 p.m. UK time.
Kate Bayliss will talk about her work on private equity, Macquarie and the financialisation of the system, as well as the impossibility of regulation. In turn, David Hall will discuss investments, dividends and the political context of the UK water industry. This includes an assessment of the UK government’s ‘independent commission’, which cannot consider public ownership (which 82% of the public want) – countered by new initiatives including the People’s Commission on Water.
