“How we understand our place is the world is shaped by our relationship to the economy and where we fit in to it. If we are born into a family who have money and can use it to make things happen, we grow up with a sense of entitlement around decision-making. If our family is poor and has never been in a position of making decisions, we often grow up assuming that things like politics are nothing to do with us. This alienates large numbers of people from any sense of power and control over own their lives.”
