Welcome to the LSE Events podcast by the London School of Economics and Political Science.
Get ready to hear from some of the most influential international figures in the social sciences.
Okay, wow.
Good evening, everyone.
For those who don't know me, my name is Larry Kramer.
I'm the President and Vice Chancellor here at LSE,
and it's my privilege to welcome you all to tonight's very special event conversation with Nick Clegg on his new book.
how to save the internet.
I didn't know that.
I didn't have to look at the page to know that.
I'll say a bit more about Nick in a moment,

which is the LSE program on Cohesive Capitalism.
So Cohesive Capitalism is a major new initiative here at LSE,
and it's aimed at shaping a new political economic paradigm to better serve the common good.
So it brings leading thinkers from across the social sciences together to explore the values,
institutions, and policies needed for more democratic, inclusive, and cohesive society.
So for anyone who knows anything about tonight's speaker, Nick,
it's not surprising that he was in the sights of the initiative as someone we wanted to bring here.
