Each week we reflect on key issues, drawn from a wide range of areas: economics, politics, the environment, matters of physical and/or spiritual life, and, often, the search for a more egalitarian form of capitalism — including opportunities for young people from all backgrounds to achieve their potential. We've published these commentaries as a written record since August 2017, and as an audio podcast since March 2022. Visit https://shareradio.co.uk for moreShare Premium Ltd. 個人的成功 政治・政府 経済学 自己啓発

  • Thought for the Week: Choice, Targeted Support & Inter-generational Fairness

    Thought for the Week: Choice, Targeted Support & Inter-generational Fairness
    2026/08/03
    In response to Andy Burnham's invitation to join his cross-party working group on overhauling social care arrangements throughout the United Kingdom, Sir Ed Davey called for diversity while Kemi Badenoch said it mustn't increase public spending. However there are other deep questions to answer as well: such as how to prepare people better for old age; will they be prepared to seize the opportunity to end universality and focus on targeted support, including for health care; and whether they can bring in a new focus on inter-generational rebalancing?

  • Thought for the Week: Philanthropists must retain and provide common sense

    Thought for the Week: Philanthropists must retain and provide common sense

    Not surprisingly, the proposal from Gary Lineker and his millionaire colleagues for a wealth tax has been met with ridicule — Robert Colvile writing in the Sunday Times says, 'The problem isn't that those who've signed the pledge are hypocrites. It's that they're idiots'. However, there is an alternative approach which could bypass gargantuan Government spending. Donating the equivalent sum to a charity of the philanthropist's choice would enable targeted support based on the donor's analysis of need. This could provide a direct solution for the challenge of inter-generational rebalancing so that future generations are better placed to tackle national debt and future public sector payment obligations which now exceed £9 trillion.

  • Thought for the Week: Are individual freedom and egalitarianism incompatible?

    Thought for the Week: Are individual freedom and egalitarianism incompatible?
    2026/07/20
    Thomas Jefferson's claim that all are created equal with the rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness attracts lip service from politicians but not much commitment: they either want to take away liberty in the pursuit of equality, or to deny that wealth polarisation results from the black hole of economics. Will Andy Burnham also turn a Nelsonian blind eye to this challenge, allowing domestic parochialism to take precedence over the search for a new way forward where all can enjoy the benefits of individual freedom and economic empowerment — a genuinely new political and economic model?
