<p>Presenting new, challenging solutions to the severe problem of inequality in the UK, <em>Making Equal </em>brings together a<strong> </strong>wide range of senior respective figures across the fields of politics, academia and the voluntary sector to outline their visions of how a less unequal Britain could be created and why doing so now is an economic and moral imperative for the nation.</p><p>Ideas outlining how welfare, the criminal justice system, education and skills, the regional distribution of power and how the economy itself needs to be rewired, are presented by ex-Ministers, academics, university leaders and heads of charities. The chapter authors analyse the extent of social and economic inequality in the UK, critique present approaches to addressing inequality and identify key principles, a future research agenda and an over-arching policy approach to addressing inequality and its consequences. The chapters are drawn in the main from contributions to the Ruskin College, Oxford Seminar Series and <em>Making Equal</em><strong> </strong>celebrates the 125th anniversary of the formation of the college.</p><p>Transcending disciplines and bringing together a range of diverse experts, <em>Making Equal</em><strong> </strong>is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding and addressing inequality in the UK.</p>
