On 1 November 2024 the Fairness Foundation, the Future Threats Lab at the Department of War Studies, and the Policy Institute at King’s College London convened a one-day workshop for 25 senior stakeholders from the worlds of politics, government, academia, business and civil society. Its purpose was to examine the evidence for the serious risks — perhaps even catastrophic risks — posed by wealth inequality in the UK to our society, economy, democracy and environment, and for the ways in which those risks can be mitigated through government policy.

We produced a report on the workshop findings, which was featured in The Guardian and other press. The report can be found here: https://fairnessfoundation.com/inequality-knocks
