The far-right won an election in Germany last weekend, following on from successes elsewhere. Why is it so popular? And how can it be contained? The answers all come down to neoliberalism.

The EU has offered the UK the chance of free movement for people under the age of 30, but Keir Starmer is adamant that this must not happen. He has offered no good reason, just like the parent who says no to a child without offering explanation as to why.

Labour was built on the basis of a proud left-of-centre tradition that was based on support for working people and a belief in the power of the state to build well-being for everyone, and not just a few.

Do you only have a legal right to your income after tax, meaning the tax you pay was never yours to enjoy?
5:47
People like to claim they have a gross income out of which their tax is paid. But is that gross income ever really theirs when it comes with the legal obligation to pay tax attached to it, meaning that the tax owing always belongs to the government? And what does that do to the idea of taxpayer money?…

Land value taxation is a 19th century idea that has very rarely been used. Its proponents say it is the great unavoidable tax that could potentially replace all other taxes. The problem is it is based on assumptions that might be fine in theory, but which would be incomprehensible in practice – and that’s no way to impose a tax charge.…

Macroeconomics suggests how governments work. But at present it’s almost all based on microeconomics, which is about how individuals, households and companies work. But that’s absurd when micro entities and governments are completely different as to purpose, goals and the tools available to change outcomes. No wonder we’re in a mess.…

I keep hearing people say that we need to get the money back from tax havens. That, though, is not necessary. There is no money in tax havens.

Instead, what we want back from them is the tax not paid on income recorded…

The national debt is widely misunderstood. The reality is that this is not a burden. It underpins UK banking. It’s fundamental to UK savers.

Rachel Reeves says she wants growth. If so, she should tax wealth, because the wealthy save much of what they earn, meaning that they don’t spend it, and so reduce growth.
