Twin Virtues: Inequality of Outcomes & Equality of Opportunity©

To read the book proposal please click on 'About The Book' on the menu bar at the top of the page.

Ultimately, the most successful societies find the balance between the twin virtues of inequality of outcomes and equality of opportunity.

Tax policy should be founded on the principle of generating steady tax revenues sufficient to maximise sustainable economic growth and fund best in class instruments of social justice.

Public policy should never be designed to decrease inequality but should always be designed to increase equality.

Let the state regulate and the market operate (most things).

Welfare strategies are best designed as a hand up not as a hand out.

Find your voice and don't be the echo of somebody else.
