Why should we, as communities, own assets?

The second guest on the York Community Wealth Building Podcast is Owen Powell, lecturer at York St John, director of SPACE YORK CIC and author of the Fairer Futures for York report for Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF).

We spend time discussing:

• What 'community wealth building' (CWB) - often seen as an academic term - actually means for the average person

• Examples of where it has worked well elsewhere that we can learn from

• What some of the challenges are when applying CWB principles in York

• Why CWB might just succeed in York

• What the future of the region could look like if we put policies in place to stop extractive practices
