Guardian | Mike Woodin |
 | | At a time when politicians are increasingly viewed as cynical and self-serving, the career of Mike Woodin, who has died of cancer aged 38, was a reminder that honesty, intelligence and humanity can still thrive in public life. |
 | | Woodin was deeply critical of neo-liberal economics and the unquestioning pursuit of profit and materialism, and his psychological training led him to analyse the impact of globalisation not only in economic terms but also in terms of its impact on people's lives and hopes. |
 | | Woodin spent much of the last 18 months working on Green Alternatives To Globalisation: A Manifesto, which we co-wrote, and was published earlier this year. |
