Outlines the case for tackling inequality in Britain and offers a road-map to a fairer society.

Britain is a grossly unfair country, disfigured by a broken social contract and unsustainable levels of inequality. This moral outrage presents a growing threat to our society, economy and democracy.

The Fair Necessities argues that unfair inequality undermines everything from faith in government to economic growth, yet a fairer country is within reach. Drawing on cutting-edge research and interviews with public figures, including including Vince Cable, Polly Toynbee and Liam Byrne, it sets out the moral, political and policy cases for tackling inequality and explains how to build a broad, cross-party consensus for a fairer society. Engaging, evidence-rich and ultimately hopeful, it offers the vision — and the practical roadmap — needed to rebuild Britain on fairer foundations.

Will Snell is the founding Chief Executive of the Fairness Foundation, which aims to change the debate about fairness in the UK and to encourage political leadership on tackling socio-economic inequality. He is a non-profit entrepreneur with experience across a range of sectors. A graduate of the University of Oxford, he initially worked in government at the Department of Health and the Department for International Development. He then held senior roles at a global health NGO and a global tax reform think tank before setting up Tax Justice UK in 2017 and the Fairness Foundation in 2021. Will was elected as a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences in 2023. He writes a weekly substack at faircomment.co.uk.
