We have just returned from a very exciting weekend in the New Forest reading and discussing various perspectives on authority and economy. We have started working on a collaborative writing project on this theme.

Hello! On the weekend of the 22nd November the ARN will be retreating to the New Forest to discuss the below texts. It would be great to hear anyone's thoughts on these and on any additional texts we could address.
