A New Reality: government and the IPOD generation
This report suggests some ways that politics can connect up with IPODs.

A New British Model?
There is increasing interest in comparing the different approaches to balancing economic and social welfare priorities across countries in Europe and beyond. This has led to new models that have attempted to explain and classify the current government's approach in Britain. For example, Will Hutton has talked about the "social democratising" of the Anglo-Saxon model, and last year Nick Pearce (Director of ippr) and colleagues outlined the "Anglo-Social Model".
