'Contemporary global inequalities are close to their early 20th century level, at the peak of Western imperialism': the World Inequality Report in 2022 laid bare the failure of the past one hundred years of socialism. It has failed to make any appreciable impact on wealth polarisation — in fact Russia has the highest wealth inequality in the world alongside Brazil, with a 'Gini Coefficient of 0.82. It's time to show how egalitarian capitalism can shift the dial. Background music: 'Missing Persons' by Jeremy Blake Image source: Wikipedia/Credit Suisse

Georgie Frost, Simon Lambert and Lee Boyce discuss whether the idea the next generation will have it better than previous ones is now bunkum. Elsewhere, what do you want to see less of on the high street? And how can they improve? A student loan interest cap kicks in later in the year — for some. Simon explains what it means.

Not a great week. James Cameron-Wilson found Lee Cronin’s 'The Mummy', #4, an OTT, grotesque blend of Egyptian frolics and Exorcist-like demonic possession, genuinely unpleasant. Not much better was the Kander & Ebb musical 'Kiss of the Spider Woman', #51, a downer set in a prison cell with Jennifer Lopez as the Spider Woman, at least in the fanciful dreams of Luis, an imprisoned homosexual in 1983 Argentina. On Netflix there wasn’t much relief, with 'Thrash', a disaster pic set during a category 5 hurricane which unleashes sharks into a small South Carolina community: implausible, very silly and unintentionally mirthful.

Meanwhile the key concepts of egalitarian capitalism should work alongside Adam Smith's time-proven economic analysis in order to provide participation for all.
