"The unique skills, probing insight and creative approaches Topos brings to myriad public issues is unparalleled. Demos has worked with the Topos partners for more than four years on the difficult challenges of changing the public conversation about government, and creating new understandings of how the economy actually works. The research methodology they have brought to these tasks – and the recommendations and strategies they have helped us develop – have been both remarkably insightful and pragmatically applicable."
