> Spiralling cost of living and energy prices, housing shortage, climate disasters have fermented a generalised sense of insecurity in recent years. In this analysis, researchers Hannah Webster and Toby Murray focus on economic insecurity in the UK and neo-liberal policies as the long-standing cause of this outcome. Considering the options for restoring people’s sense of security, they draw lessons from public policies elsewhere, including on basic income.
If you want a sense of security don’t elect labour or tory
Unless you can get the super-rich to part with their wealth and distribute it much more evenly, there is little was can do to make a significant impact. The super-rich are funnelling wealth towards them at an alarming rate, possibly because they know the end is coming and want to sure themselves up in the meantime, they are hoarding it off shore and building climate bunkers at the same time. Politicians an journalists might not be part of that clique in most cases, however they are happy to write and say what the super-rich want in exchange for connections. Until people realise those in power do not have anyone’s interests at heart but their own we will see insecurity grow as more and more of us get sucked into the whirlpool.
