Labour And Capital

"either an idiot... or possessed of a dangerous agenda and very cunning"

Wednesday, 23 June 2010

About Me

Tom Powdrill
Ex-TUC official now working for a consultancy that deals with corporate governance and shareholder engagement. I'm interested in getting the labour movement and the Left to understand the capital markets properly. There's plenty that needs fixing, but we need to get beyond simplistic anti-City and anti-business rhetoric to do it.
