An article from The Guardian with some interesting ideas on how to reduce inequality, rather than just arrest its growth. Note the outrage expressed over the disparity between CEO and average worker pay in Britain, which is modest by U.S. standards. This week's revelation that the earnings of chief executives are now almost 100 times that of their average employee comes hard on the heels of a study by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation pointing to widespread dissatisfaction with the current gap between those at the top of the income scale and those at the bottom. It is time the government took more vigorous action to achieve the Labour party's basic aim of establishing a fairer and more equal society. This should be a key part of Gordon Brown's new programme.
