| Separate and Unequal |
|
Fabian Ideas 627 Britain is separate because it is unequal, and it is unequal because it is separate.The gap between rich and poor, having exploded during the 1980s, is still growing, despite measures to address poverty in the 13 years of Labour Government. At the same time, we face growing fragmentation in our communities. In this Fabian Ideas pamphlet, Nick Johnson defines integration as “equality for all, interaction between citizens, and democratic participation” – but, crucially, provides a detailed policy prescription for how to combine equality and solidarity, as well as explaining why it is important to do so. He challenges the left not to see integration as an adjunct to issues of equality but as part of the same broad progressive agenda, and also to move on from narrow identity politics.
