26:1 issue contents - Economic Alternatives
Article
The UK economy is in need of fundamental reform. Change is possible and has been achieved before, but will require confronting concentrations of wealth, income and power. To do this, the UK should look beyond its borders to policies pursued in other countries that have sought to ‘hardwire’ the economy for justice.
This issue sets out the economic alternatives, their relevance to the UK and the determinants of policy and campaign success.
