This week at Midas 5th-9th October
Cliveden Literary Festival on the horizon, Midas at The Frankfurt Book Fair, and events to look forward to at MCM Comic Con – here’s what’s been happening at Midas this week.
01
Upcoming publication from Francesco Caselli
We’re excited to be working with LSE Professor Francesco Caselli, on his upcoming book Cooperatives in the Twenty-First Century, published by Harvard University Press on 29 January 2027.
Endorsed by world-renowned economists like Thomas Piketty and Kenneth Rogoff, the book explores how worker-managed cooperatives can offer a tangible solution to economic inequality – and deliver true prosperity and inclusive growth.

Cliveden Literary Festival to return this weekend
This weekend from 10 – 11 October, Cliveden Literary Festival will be returning to the historic Cliveden House with discussions featuring the leading writers of today across culture, politics and history. The Festival is renowned as a forum for lively discussion, thought-provoking ideas, and political debate, and when Her Majesty The Queen attended Cliveden Literary Festival last year, she described it as ‘A perfection of a literary festival’.
