About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Includes Bonus Chapter: 'In Conversation with Geoff Lloyd'
Good news: the solutions to our problems already exist.
Great news: a once-in-a-generation appetite for change means we can make them happen.
- How do we provide enough affordable housing for everyone?
- How do we rein in the power of Big Tech?
- How can we rebuild our broken politics? How do we tackle the climate crisis?
- How do we really give people back control?
For the past four years, Ed Miliband has been discovering and interviewing brilliant people all around the world who are successfully tackling these problems, transforming communities and pioneering global movements. From a citizens' assembly in Mongolia to the UK's largest walking and cycling network in Greater Manchester, from flexible working in Finland to the campaign for the first halal Nando's in Cardiff, Go Big draws on the most imaginative and ambitious of these ideas to provide a vision for how to remake society.
The challenges we face are daunting, but in Go Big he shows that the scale of what is possible is far greater. We are at a rare moment in history when people everywhere see the need for big change. The future is not yet written. It's our job to write it.
Go Big shows us how.
Critic reviews
"Enthralling. I was left with such an unusual feeling that I didn't at first realise what it was, and then I remembered: optimism. I hope everyone with the slightest interest in the way the world works will read it." (Philip Pullman)
"Inspired and inspiring, Miliband calls upon us to rise to our challenges with courageous boldness." (Christiana Figueres, lead negotiator of the UN Paris Climate Agreement)
"Go Big should be the rallying cry of progressives around the world." (Rutger Bregman, author of Humankind)
It made me wonder, how idyllic UK would have been now if Ed won instead of David Cameron 12 years ago. I am beyond no reasonable doubt that the country would be thriving instead paying off the debt of bone idle-billionaire boys club! Sustainable society-community seems so reasonable as well as feasible when Ed Miliband talks about it. You can tell he's genuine just by the kindness and passion in his voice. I endeavour to see what the New Labour Party will achieve by the end of their term. Some politicians are still humans, we just need to vote them in and give them a fighting chance! 🏆

Ed is well versed in public policy but elected to go for an accessible version of his knowledge rather than listing theoretical politics.
Highly recommend to general readership and more specific audiences.
