A sharing economy

How social wealth funds can reduce inequality
and help balance the books
ePDF £45.00 US$65.00
Stewart Lansley, University of Bristol
Could social wealth funds reduce inequality and
tackle austerity? A Sharing Economy proposes
radical new ways to close the UK’s growing income
gap and spread social opportunities. A social wealth
fund would boost economic and social investment
and simultaneously strengthen the public finances.
Offering a powerful antidote to austerity, this
is a fascinating topical contribution to current
debates about social economics.

since election of Jeremy Corbyn. With a foreword by
Lord [Peter] Hain, it examines the key foundational
principles of social democracy in order to find a route
back to political credibility for Labour.

How education is failing young people
Patrick Ainley, University of Greenwich
From primary to post-graduate schools –

apprenticeships and the world’s most costly university
fees – Patrick Ainley explains how English education
is now driven by the economy and politics, ‘dumbing
down’ rather than ‘wising up’.
