Description

The global economy generates immense fortunes for a super-rich elite. Yet at the same time pay stagnates for ordinary workers, food banks proliferate and public services collapse around us. In "Enough", Luke Hildyard argues that the super-rich are an extractive, parasitic force sucking up a vastly disproportionate share of society's resources - making the rest of us all poorer as a result. Hildyard contends that politicians make absurd promises about economic growth while ignoring the solution that's staring them in the face. He shows that a major programme of taxes on the rich and economic reform could be used to redirect the wealth of the one per cent towards those who actually create it. As Director of the High Pay Centre, Luke Hildyard brings a deep understanding of pay and inequality to this timely critique. By presenting a clear case for a more equitable economy, "Enough" offers a compelling vision for change.
