Welcome to Crimetown, a series produced by Marc Smerling and Zac Stuart-Pontier in partnership with Gimlet Media. Each season, we investigate the culture of crime in a different city. In Season 2, Crimetown heads to the heart of the Rust Belt: Detroit, Michigan. From its heyday as Motor City to its rebirth as the Brooklyn of the Midwest, Detroit’s history reflects a series of issues that strike at the heart of American identity: race, poverty, policing, loss of industry, the war on drugs, an ...

What if instead of being on the brink of disaster, we’re on the cusp of a better world? No one can deny the challenges the world faces, from pandemics to climate change to authoritarianism. But pessimism and despair are too easy a response. Each week, Progress Network Founder Zachary Karabell and Executive Director Emma Varvaloucas convene a diverse panel of experts to discuss the central issues of our era, including sustainability, polarization, work, and the economy, and make the case for ...

Central government only undertakes tasks or makes decisions which localities cannot or which require uniform regulation.
The gravitational pull of power to the centre is one of the things designers of the German constitution had in mind at the end of the Second World War.
Germany had a certain fundamental and rather paradoxical advantage the UK lacks - they were defeated, along with Japan, and so their institutions were largely dissolved and reinvented in such a way as to avoid the accretion of power at the centre.
This is a version of this week's topic - Subsidiarity - and we look at the German model in depth, and why it has been so successful.
Talking points:
Historic backdrop of Subsidiarity
We need to reinvent local democracy
Executive mayor in Tubingen and the pandemic
How that looks in other countries
Trust in government and optimal population (+/- 5 Million)
Advantages of principle of subsidiarity
Hazards of disempowerment
Uniform regulation and local implementation in Germany
Ashby's Law of Requisite Variety and subsidiarity
...and child protection
Regional power, policy experimentation and learning
