[PREVIEW] 17. Monopoly Power
<html><p>Welcome to Episode 17 of the Social Justice Salon.</p><p>In this episode, Marianne is joined by the titan of financial and economic activism Nicholas Shaxson. We delve into predatory finance, tax havens and his latest research into monopoly power.</p><p>Nicholas Shaxson is a journalist, author, and activist focusing on finance &amp; economics, and their relationships to people and societies. He’s written for numerous publications including the Financial Times, the Guardian, the Economist, and the New York Times and has written a number of fantastic books: Poisoned Wells (2007), about oil, politics and conflict in West Africa; Treasure Islands (2011), about tax havens; and The Finance Curse (2018), about the domestic impacts of oversized financial sectors. He was a foundational member of the global tax justice movement and in 2021 co-founded the Balanced Economy Project (BEP), the first general international anti-monopoly NGO of the modern age. He is currently writing a new book on monopolies.</p><p>We focus on the history and impact of monopolies, how pervasive and dangerous they are to our financial and overall health, and how it is actually very possible to curb their control and revitalise our local economies.</p><p><strong>Links and more info</strong></p><p>Follow Nicholas Shaxson on <u><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicholas-shaxson-23bb62283/" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a></u></p><p>Buy his book <u><a href="https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/434424/the-finance-curse-by-nicholas-shaxson/9781784705046" target="_blank">The Finance Curse</a></u></p><p>Buy his book <u><a href="https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/407150/treasure-islands-by-nicholas-shaxson/9780099541721" target="_blank">Tresure Islands</a></u></p><p>Buy his book <u><a href="https://us.macmillan.com/books/9780230605329/poisonedwells/" target="_blank">Poisoned Wells</a></u></p><p>Follow the podcast on <u><a href="https://www.instagram.com/socialjusticesalon/?hl=fr" target="_blank">Instagram</a></u></p><p>Follow Marianne on <u><a href="https://www.instagram.com/creatrix.london/" target="_blank">Instagram</a></u> and <u><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@creatrix.london?lang=en" target="_blank">TikTok</a></u></p><p>Become a member of Marianne’s <u><a href="https://patreon.com/creatrixlondon?utm_medium=unknown&amp;utm_source=join_link&amp;utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&amp;utm_content=copyLink" target="_blank">Patreon</a></u></p><p>Music by Luke Fraser at <u><a href="https://www.instagram.com/the_tonic_/?hl=en" target="_blank">The Tonic</a></u> and Artwork was by <u><a href="https://www.instagram.com/creatrix.studio/" target="_blank">Marianne</a></u></p></html>

15. Running a Social Justice Consultancy
<html><p>Welcome to episode 15 of Justice Studio Sessions. In this concluding episode of series one, we have a frank discussion about what it means to run a consultancy focused on social justice. In this episode we discuss the challenges of running a small values based business in an industry that favours the big boys.</p><p></p><p>For this episode Marianne Moore, foundress of Justice Studio, is joined by Dr Irum Ali a social scientist and consultant who runs the organisation Inclusive Growth with her co-founder. Irum has nearly two decades of experience in both the academic and charity fields, working on a range of projects across research, policy and evaluation areas. Her current areas of interest lie in diversity, equity and inclusion in the charity sector, the impact of poor public service provision on marginalised communities and race equality policy.</p><p></p><p>In this no holds barred episode, Irum and Marianne talk about their personal experiences and frustrations running a consultancy committed to social justice and equity in a capitalist world. We hope the topics raised will resonate with other consultants and small business owners and can be a force for more community rather than competition amongst us.</p><p></p><p>Links for this episode:</p><p>Follow Irum on Linkedin: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/drirumali/" target="_blank">Irum Ali</a></p><p>Visit her website: <a href="http://www.inclusivegrowth.co" target="_blank">www.inclusivegrowth.co</a></p><p>Justice Studio’s website: <a href="http://www.justicestudio.org" target="_blank">www.justicestudio.org</a></p><p>Follow Justice Studio on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/justicestudio/" target="_blank">@justicestudio</a></p><p>Follow Justice Studio on Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/justicestudio" target="_blank">@justicestudio</a></p><p>Follow Marianne on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/creatrix.london?igshid=YzVkODRmOTdmMw==" target="_blank">@</a><a href="http://creatrix.london" target="_blank">creatrix.london</a></p></html>

14. International Safeguarding Scandals
<html><p>Welcome to episode 14 of Justice Studio Sessions. In this episode we discuss three international safeguarding scandals.</p><p>In 2018 it was discovered that senior Oxfam staff had paid local young women for sex whilst working in the response to the Haiti earthquake. The Oxfam Haiti incident was not an isolated incident, however. In this episode Marianne talks about the Oxfam Scandal as well as two other scandals that shook the international aid community but took place earlier: These are the UN DynCorp Trafficking case in Bosnia in early 2000s, and the UNHCR Peacekeepers scandal in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone around the same time.</p><p>Please be advised that this episode contains distressing content.</p><p>References</p><p> </p><p><strong>Bosnia</strong>:</p><p>Bolkovac, K &amp; Lynn, C. 2011.
