Content: This landmark book charts the rollercoaster history of both rich and poor, and the mechanisms that link them. Stewart Lansley examines the ideological rifts that have driven society back to the divisions of the past and asks why rich and poor citizens are still judged by very different standards.

Series Statement: Policy Press shorts. Insights

Content: Social wealth funds could be a powerful tool in tackling a number of the weaknesses of Britain's social and economic model, especially its high level of inequality, low level of social investment and imbalanced public finances. The potential of such funds has been greatly under-debated in the UK amongst political thinkers, academics or social policy practitioners. Drawing on the evidence from overseas and the historical roots of the idea, the book will discuss how such funds could be introduced and financed in the UK, their likely impact, the elements of a model scheme for the UK drawing on the experience of other schemes, and whether it is possible to build a cross-political consensus for such funds.
