Background
We believe the 2026 Global Justice Report proves societies can lower their material footprint and boost well-being via wealth compression by implementing progressive wealth and income taxes which would actively curb extreme inequality. Furthermore, structurally shortening the standard working week should shift focus from resource-intensive consumption to public health and education. The UK Government has the direct legislative power to reform these tax and labour laws to build a fairer, sustainable economy.
