Welcome to Empowered Belonging, a newsletter about how we can build societies which empower individuals to live fulfilling lives. For millennia, people have yearned for fulfillment. Not for wealth or acclaim, nor power or fame. Instead, they have yearned for far simpler things. I believe that fundamentally, people yearn simply to belong to a community of people that empowers them to go their own way in life. This is all, and it means something very important. Our desires are not insatiable; fulfilment is possible. How do we get there?

Challenges to the Western World with Sir Peter Westmacott (Oxford PPE Society, released 24 April 2020)
"In a way his election was a fluke because after all he only won by 76,000 votes in just three states, and lost the popular vote by 3 million."
This week's episode with Sir Peter Westmacott is out now! Peter is a former British ambassador who has served in the United States, France, and Turkey. In this 40-minute listen, we explore the development of US politics and how the Republican Party became the "party of Trump", the 'Special Relationship' between the UK and the US, and on whether Joe Biden is the man to to make Donald Trump a one-term president.
We also discuss his wider experiences in France and Turkey, touching on the Arab Spring, the evolution of President Erdoğan, and Turkey's aspirations to join the European Union. The episode is also available to download, so if you're not able to listen to it right now you can download it for later listening - we hope you enjoy!
