Reasons Revisited

Episode 27. MIND THE (WEALTH) GAP: a social wealth fund for Britain

Hello! For richer, for poorer... the vast inequality of wealth in Britain won't get any better on its own. So, here's an idea... A sovereign or social wealth fund. Other countries have successfully saved the money made from natural resources, invested wisely, and been able to put the resources to productive use, even providing their citizens with a regular share of the income. We're joined by Carys Roberts and Angela Cummines to tell us how it could work here. AND What can we learn from the best city to live in for the 9th year running? Jürgen Czernohorszky from Vienna shares his insight into why the city is so desirable CONTACT US reasons@cheerfulpodcast.comhttps://www.facebook.com/reasonstobecheerfulpodcasthttps://twitter.com/cheerfulpodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/cheerfulpodcast/ MERCH https://shop.spreadshirt.co.uk/cheerfulpodcast/   CONTACT OUR GUESTShttps://twitter.com/carysrobertshttps://twitter.com/angelacumminehttps://twitter.com/chairnohorsekey Hosted on Acast.
