What if globalisation isn't as unstoppable as once thought? As manufacturing technology advances will the push for cheap labour abroad cease? How will that change the location of factories? And how might that affect you? We consider the idea of deglobalisation with Finbarr Livesey, author of From Global To Local, and Stephanie Flanders, former Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Economics Editor, now Chief Market Strategist for UK and Europe at J P Morgan.

Taryn Simon's art work is on show as part of Photo London at the Embankment Gallery East in Somerset House.

New Generation Thinkers is a scheme run by the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ with the Arts and Humanities Research Council to find academics who can turn their research into radio and television. You can find more information, films and broadcasts on the Free Thinking website.
From Global To Local: The making of things and the end of globalisation by Finbarr Livesey is published 18 May 2017.
