The Richer, The Poorer charts the rollercoaster history of both
rich and poor and the mechanisms that link wealth and
impoverishment. This landmark book shows how, for 200 years,
Britain's most powerful elites have enriched themselves at the
expense of surging inequality, mass poverty and weakened social
resilience. Stewart Lansley reveals how Britain's model of
'extractive capitalism' - with a small elite securing an excessive
slice of the economic cake - has created a two-century-long
'high-inequality, high-poverty' cycle, one broken for only a brief
period after the Second World War. Why, he asks, are rich and poor
citizens judged by very different standards? Why has social
progress been so narrowly shared? With growing calls for a fairer
post-COVID-19 society, what needs to be done to break Britain's
destructive poverty/inequality cycle?
