The Demos group in Britain conducts high-quality public policy research on a wide range of topics, including urban design, social assistance policies, and the housing market. Like many other think tanks, the group also produces a wide range of presentations on its work. This section of the site presents full-length programs like "Multi-Dimensional Poverty," "The Future of Open Data," and "How Labour Wins Again." One of the programs that should not be missed is the conversation on "It's Who You Know: The Power of Social Networks." It's a response by Richard Horton of The Lancet to another speech on social networks and it's quite insightful. All told, there are about three dozen programs in the Video section, while the Audio area contains podcasts and speeches dating back to 2006. Two recommended programs are "The Power Gap" (on power in contemporary societies) and a conversation with Evgeny Morozov on the relationship between politics and the Internet.
