Description
The Inequality of Wealth: Why it Matters and How to Fix it by Liam Byrne The wealth gap has never been more pronounced. Millions of people struggle to afford basic necessities like a home, education, and pension. Yet, the super-rich continue to accumulate wealth at an alarming rate. Former Treasury Minister Liam Byrne argues that this trend threatens our society, economy, and politics. Byrne draws on conversations with experts and policymakers from around the world to explain the root causes of inequality and propose practical solutions. He outlines five new ways to rebuild an old ideal: the wealth-owning democracy. This book offers a fresh perspective on the issue, one that is both radical and achievable.
