Low pay, poor work conditions and insecure employment plague our society. While millions struggle, the rich continue to get richer, hiding their massive profits in tax havens rather than investing them in the things we need to build a sustainable future. This corrupt, exploitative system is supported by the establishment parties, who take donations from the super rich on the understanding that they won’t threaten their interests.
To build an economy that provides security, dignity and opportunity for all, we need to redistribute wealth and power from the rich to the poor. That means breaking from four decades of neoliberalism by taking key industries into public control, investing in projects which meet human need, and retooling our economy to respond to the climate crisis. At the heart of this transformation will be an empowered working class, enjoying higher incomes and able to spend more time on the things that make life worth living.
