Dear Friends of Robin,

We are delighted to announce the launch of the Robin Murray Living Library
<http://www.robinmurray.co.uk/> which you can now access here:
www.robinmurray.co.uk

This site has been created by the Trellis Foundation
<https://www.trellisfoundation.co.uk/>, set up in memory of Robin to
continue his life’s work in social and environmental innovation. As part of
this project we have digitised and made available hundreds of unpublished
papers, as well as articles, reports and other publications, dating from
the 1960s to his final works in 2016.

Robin made important contributions to the fields of fair trade, social
innovation, environmentalism and local economic development as well as
being one of the most influential socialist thinkers of the last 40 years,
developing his ideas through practical projects and experiments. He also
played a significant role as a policymaker, first as Chief Economic Advisor
to the Greater London Council in the early 1980s and later in the 1990s in
shaping London’s waste strategy.

In this Living Library, we have included papers and publications, photos,
and reflections from colleagues and friends on his work on multinationals,
the labour process in Brighton, economics at IDS, developing a new
education system for the Seychelles in the early 1980s, producing the
London Industrial Strategy at the GLC, TWIN and Twin Trading, Fordism and
flexible specialisation, SEEDS, pioneering an alternative waste strategy
for London, greening homes and re-imagining the NHS at the Design Council,
social innovation methods at the Young Foundation, supporting co-operatives
in South Korea, reviewing the co-operative movement for Co-ops UK and much
more.

We would like to thank the many people who have helped in the making of
this website, either through written contributions or donations to the
Trellis Foundation. In particular, we would like to give special thanks to
the Scurrah Wainwright Charity <http://www.wainwrighttrusts.org.uk/swc.html>,
the Barry Amiel and Norman Melburn Trust
<http://www.amielandmelburn.org.uk/> and the Lipman-Miliband Trust
<http://www.lipman-miliband.org.uk/> for their generous support.

Finally, we hope that you will enjoy visiting the site and please do spread
the word - share it with someone you think will like it or tweet or post
about it via social media.

Many thanks,

Frances Murray and Julie Simon
