Institute for Fiscal Studies 31d ago

Wealth inequality is central to debates about living standards, opportunity and fairness in the UK. But how unequal is wealth in Britain, how has this changed over time, and what role should the tax system play? In this session from the concluding workshop of the IFS-Deaton Review of Inequalities, Stuart Adam examine patterns of wealth inequality in the UK and consider where the taxation of wealth fits within wider concerns about inequality. This event formed part of the concluding workshop for the IFS-Deaton Review of Inequalities, funded by the Nuffield Foundation. The review has brought together evidence on inequalities in education, income, wealth, health, place, work and political power, and what they mean for UK policy.
