Twelve months of fairness
Prepare to feel festive?
Small print: Most of our output is not very festive at all, and this is a review of our output in 2025, so ready yourself. Also, we’re publishing this a day after a horrific terrorist attack that took place during a gathering to celebrate the first night of Hanukah. Here’s hoping for a brighter start to 2026, with best wishes for Christmas to all who celebrate it and to the holiday season for everyone.
In the first month of 2025 the Fairness Foundation sent to me, a report about the risks of wealth inequality leading to societal collapse.
In the second month of 2025 the Fairness Foundation sent to me, a report about the opportunities for regulatory reform to both tackle inequality and boost growth.

In the fourth month of 2025 the Fairness Foundation sent to me, a report about the impacts of zero or negative asset ownership on people’s life chances and outcomes.
In the fifth month of 2025 the Fairness Foundation sent to me, a report about why politics needs to think and act in the long term, and how to make it happen.

Then they went for a long lie down and reflected on how next year’s outputs could do with being a bit more positive.
*These reports don’t quite line up to calendar months, but you get the idea.
