Jonathan How – bringing co-operation to a wider audience

In this episode we’re going in-house and speaking to Jonathan How – one of the original members of the Diggers & Dreamers team. As well as communal living he’s had past involvements in radical bookshops, wholefoods, publishing, co-op development and more recently local government. Following his path from the British urban squatting movement of the 1970s to the present day we hear how his conclusion is that the hippies were right all along – they just needed to be a bit more organised! If we’re ever going to achieve anything then we all need to re balance our mindsets so that they’re made up of equal parts digging and dreaming.
