Atkinson does not just say inequality is a problem, he lays out what we can do about it. He argues that rising inequality is not inevitable, and we are not powerless to change it. His proposals are practical and wide ranging: better wages, guaranteed public jobs, fairer taxes, and even giving a small inheritance at adulthood. He wants governments to shape markets, not just patch them up after the fact. Atkinson also pushes for stronger unions, smarter innovation that creates jobs, and a public investment fund to build long term wealth. His message is clear: if we are serious about fairness, we need bold policies, not just talk.
