David Cameron has championed the 'big society' as his big idea for government; Ed Miliband has countered with the 'good society'. Two of the thinkers behind these concepts debate what is at stake in rethinking the role of the state in contemporary Britain. Maurice Glasman was raised to Baron Glasman of Stoke Newington and of Stamford Hill in 2011. Jesse Norman is the MP for Hereford and South Herefordshire and author of The Big Society.
Some of the most important points in my view:
Undominated life
1. Relations / Mutual dependancy
Based fundamentally on relationships / relationships of 'reciprocity'; an active relationship of give and take - equally situated; where liberty and equality characterise that relationship; and where freedom and possibility of fulfilment is interconnected with the fulfilment of others.
