Summary:

Do governments actively create economic inequality? The A-Z of Inequality outlines the many absurdities and inequalities in the UK's tax, fiscal and financial systems and proposes radical but simple reforms. Each letter of the A-Z shows how government policy is both inefficient and favours the wealthy, by imposing heavy burdens on those who work but subsidising those who own property, shares and land. It explains how the young are paying for the rich; why shareholders pay less tax than employees; how the rich benefit from the use of debt and how quantitative easing is a bonanza for the City. It could not be more timely.
