Progress towards a more inclusive and sustainable world is not just the dream of idealists: the starting point is belief in its possibility and an appreciation of the man-made obstacles which we have the power to remove.

Author Mark Braund investigates what is it about humans as biological organisms, cultural players and economic agents that gives rise to our continuing lack of progress, what we therefore need to change about ourselves, and how change in individuals might translate into wider social change.

To enable Britain to prosper in the modern world, author Tony Vickers advocates a complete shift in the burden of taxation, off enterprise and onto resource usage – Land Value Taxation. This is to ensure that those who work and save are not penalised, and those who now enjoy the gifts of Nature and the benefits conferred by society pay proportionately for the privilege, and not future generations or the poor.

“This book is a primer for anyone who wants to create a more equitable, efficient and sustainable Britain.”
– Chris Huhne MP –

“Vickers’ crystal clear insights on public finance policy are reflected in his writings and innovative research projects. His book will teach you to fly with both left and right wings in balance.”

The story of a London landlord who complains about getting rich too quickly, thanks to the UK government’s broken tax system.

Don Riley’s life-changing experience demonstrates how re-structuring the tax system cuts out the free-riders, and as a result, everyone could be rewarded for their hard work.

In a world divided by dangerously misleading theories of governance, Rent Unmasked recovers the concepts that integrate macro-economics with the common good; interrogates the interface between private incomes and public revenue; and identifies strategies for lifting the stalled global economy out of the low growth straitjacket that is blocking the rise of real wages and capital formation to levels that deliver sustainable growth.

How do we push our politicians to act boldly and transform our society for the better, for all, not just the few? From Here to Prosperity relays how we can resolve the high level of inequality together: How to fix it, build a sustainable economy, and bring greater social justice.

“A century ago, civic-minded business people who understood how concentrated wealth undermines our democracy helped launch the struggle that toppled America’s original plutocracy. In “Income for me/ wealth for we”, Burgess reignites that civic-minded spirit.”
