SUMMARY:Why Does Britain Have a Water and Sewage Crisis?
DESCRIPTION:The discharge of raw sewage into rivers\, as well as major water companies’ financial problems\, have become serious political and social concerns for the public. \nBritish cities have faced similar challenges in the past\, most notoriously the ‘Great Stink’ in London in 1858 that led to the construction of Bazalgette’s sewer. Then in the nineteenth century\, many cities adopted ‘gas and water socialism’\, taking utilities into public ownership. \nThis lecture asks\, why did this happen\, and through assessing the current system of regulated private ownership\, also asks\, should there be a return to public ownership? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Professor Martin Daunton\, visiting Gresham Professor of Economic History.\n\nMartin is a British academic and historian. He was Master of Trinity Hall\, Cambridge\, between 2004 and 2014. He is Emeritus Professor of Economic History at the University of Cambridge.He has written two books on the history of taxation in Britain – Trusting Leviathan and Just Taxes\, and co-edited with colleagues in Berlin a volume of essays on the political economy of public finance in leading OECD countries since the 1970s. His book The Economic Government of the World\, 1933 to 2023 was published by Allen Lane in 2023. \nRegister for attendance in person or Online here.
