/// FINDING COMMON GROUND FOR A FAIRER FUTURE
We work to change the debate around fairness in the UK, and to make the case that high levels of socio-economic inequality are unfair, unpopular (85% of Britons are concerned about inequality), and bad for our society, economy and democracy. We aim to rebalance wealth in the UK, so as to rebuild the social contract and provide everyone with freedom and opportunity.

High levels of wealth inequality are damaging our society, economy and democracy. But these arguments are rarely rehearsed when billionaires are challenged about their wealth, giving them a free pass.
Why tackling extreme economic inequality will be the defining test of Andy Burnham's government and how he could do it
We've gaslighted ourselves for years into believing that people's life trajectories owe much more to merit than luck. By removing our ability to measure merit, AI will finally put paid to that idea.
Jack Jeffrey interviews Hettie O'Brien about private equity in the UK
