By 2020, when Battersea Power Station is repurposed and reopened and the US, Dutch and possibly Chinese embassies have moved into the area, Nine Elms will be a very different place. We talk about the area’s unremarkable history, what it’ll be like in the future when it is London’s new centre for diplomacy, business and culture, and take a trip to the area’s current main attraction - New Covent Garden Market.

Radio New Zealand : National : Programmes : Ideas : Sunday 19 June 2011
Last month 141 economists from around the globe launched the World Economics Association. In its first three weeks of existence more 4500 people from 120 countries joined its ranks. The association’s manifesto says it stands for a plurality of thought, method and philosophy, and a commitment to global democracy which will prevent one country or continent from dominating economic debate.
Ideas talks to three of the association’s founding members: Ha Joon Chang, the author of 23 Things They Don’t Tell You About Capitalism; former World Bank economist and professor of economics at the London School of Economics, expatriate New Zealander Robert Wade; and Steve Keen the author of Debunking Economics: The Naked Emperor of the Social Sciences,

Hindsight - 5 June 2011 - John Helder Wedge
The story of colonial surveyor and explorer John Helder Wedge, one of the forgotten founders of Melbourne.
Wedge arrived in Van Diemens Land with his brother in 1824, and went on to map some of the most isolated regions of contemporary Tasmania. Later he became involved, along with John Batman and fellow entrepreneurs, in the claim to the Port Phillip area, later the settlement of Melbourne. A fervent Anglican, Wedge helped fashion Batman’s famous treaty with local Aboriginal clans of Port Phillip Bay. He had witnessed and documented the treatment of Tasmania’s Indigenous population — something he did not want to see repeated in the settlement on the mainland.
A member of the Royal Geographic society, Wedge, like many of his 19th century contemporaries, was a curious and keen collector of Aboriginal material culture. These artefacts included some spears and clubs, which may have come to Wedge through his association with the escaped convict William Buckley, who lived with the Aboriginal people along the western coastline of Victoria for more than thirty years.
Wedge sent most of his collection of Aboriginal artefacts back to his father in Britain, and they ended up in small museum in the market town of Saffron Walden.
A number of these artefacts are in a permanent exhibition which has opened in the new Landmarks Gallery at the National Museum of Australia in Canberra.
