We Need to Tax Billionaires
£9.99While ordinary citizens pay around half of their income in tax, billionaires pay often close to zero income tax – because they earn almost all their income through companies.

We need to tax billionaires, and this book shows us why now is the moment.

Get In
£12.99Drawing on their unrivalled access throughout the Labour party, the Times and Sunday Times investigative duo behind ‘Left Out’ now present the inside story of Labour’s transformation and general election under Starmer. This is the definitive telling of a momentous time for the party, focusing on Starmer’s relentless and single-minded pursuit of power and on the hidden turmoil as he expunged opponents and attempted to unite his party in the face of searingly divisive events. Richly peopled with all of the major figures of Labour present and past, and revealing who actually wields power in the party today, this is a must-read, warts-and-all picture of how Labour was ruthlessly transformed, how Starmer won Number 10 and who Britain’s government really is.

In ‘Human Capital’, Guy Standing shows us how education – intrinsically a common public good – has been enclosed, privatised, financialised and corrupted, turned into an instrument of societal control, not human emancipation, weakening democracy, not strengthening it.
