John Hills Book order

This revised edition uses extensive updated research and survey evidence to challenge the view of 'skivers versus strivers', showing how much our lives vary not just as we age, but from week-to-week and year-to-year.

The book delves into the increasing inequality in Britain since the late 1970s, focusing on the widening income gap and rising poverty levels. It explores the impact of government spending and taxation on income distribution, analyzing public perceptions and the evolution of these systems since New Labour's rise in 1997. Additionally, it addresses the future challenges that an aging population will impose on government policies.
