In this episode of the Transforming Society podcast, Jess Miles speaks with Alison Young, author of Unchecked Power, about the growth of governmental power and erosion of checks and balances over the last 4 years.

They discuss the difference between constitution and law, how the ‘will of the people’ is being homogenised all over the world and how a lack of knowledge and understanding about the constitution helps the government get away with bad behaviour.
