Using international data it show that means testing harms the poor families it is intended to help. When benefit spending is targeted tightly at the poorest the overall generosity of welfare falls, leaving poor families worse off than when benefits are widely available.

The growing gap between rich and poor is bad for ordinary people, is felt personally by almost half the population and allows the very rich to use their power to harm the majority, according to new polling for the Fabian Review.
The poll, conducted by YouGov and supported by the TUC, shows widespread unhappiness with the way the British economy works. There is overwhelming support for companies to take a longer-term approach to investment, with 80 per cent agreeing that the private sector should recognise a wider responsibility than maximising shareholder profit.

 2012 will see voters lose faith in the government's economic policy and give Labour a fair hearing says Ed Balls, the shadow chancellor. In an interview in the Fabian Review, Balls says George Osborne's autumn statement marked a turning point:
“I think it [will prove] a game-changer in people’s understanding. When a government [takes office], you really want to believe these new guys are going to make it work. Then suddenly people realise that not only is there lower growth and high unemployment, but that the one thing this Government said it would do was to borrow less, and now it is borrowing more. In the next six to nine months, people are going to say: What’s the alternative? Our opportunity starts now.”
