Join our panelists as they come together to discuss the upcoming issue of the ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ Public Policy ReviewBeveridge 2.0: Doing Good and Doing Well.

While the role the public sector has been highlighted in face of current challenges, individuals, private and third sector organisations have also played a critical role in creating positive social and environmental impacts and, more generally, promoting the public good. In the upcoming issue of the ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ Public Policy Review, Doing Good and Doing Well, the Beveridge 2.0 programme has collaborated with the Marshall Institute to explore the motivations and incentive structures that private individuals and organizations have to contribute to public benefit.  

From the Marshall Institute, Jonathan Roberts (with co-author Julian Le Grand) will demonstrate the links between economic system failure and individual and organizational motivation in different types of systems, including the private, public and nonprofit sectors, and discuss whether an economic system based on social enterprises and other ‘hybrids’ (organisations motivated to make social and environmental returns, as well as financial ones) would do better.  From Health Policy, Joan Costa-Font (with co-author Sara Machado) will discuss how government can encourage individual pro-social behaviours which are critical for health systems to function effectively. And Anne Power (with co-author Ellie Benton) from the Centre for the Analysis of Social Exclusion (CASE) will examine the specific case of the growth of mutual aid groups in the UK as the COVID 19 crisis developed.
