Over the past four years there have been steady progress with our research into egalitarian capitalism: the first presentation of which was arranged by Z/Yen in August 2021, 'A World of Individual Opportunity: The Vision of Egalitarian Capitalism'.
We look forward to hosting a two-day conference into inter-generational rebalancing at the Institute for Fiscal Studies on 14th /15th May which will include both academic and policy perspectives: if you would be interested to attend, please let us know on our 'Save the Date' registration form.
Meanwhile, The Share Foundation continues to provide strong evidence of its benefits with their work for young people in care on behalf of the UK's Department for Education and its recovery programme for the Child Trust Fund scheme (with particular emphasis on the HMRC-allocated segment). From our research perspective, this work provides a strong basis for non-experimental evaluation.
Significant progress has also been made into Stock for Data & Creativity, with the first research paper published by Dr. Heloise Greeff in 2024. This has now moved into an economic modelling analysis being undertaken by Capital Economics, after which we will be exploring the construction of a simulation research engine.
Share Alliance arranges conferences at Cambridge and elsewhere based on the SHARE research project, the first of which was:
The 1st SHARE Conference
which took place as a half-day event on Friday 14th April '23 at King's College with a programme as follows (links to YouTube-hosted videos of each session are included in the titles):
9.30 am Welcome & Overview, Underlying Principles & Planning
An introduction to the key building blocks for participation for all, including disintermediation and individual ownership & responsibility, and to our approach for providing academic rigour for a new egalitarian approach to capitalism.
10.05 am Inter-generational Rebalancing
Showing how the natural human cycle can enable individual empowerment of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds and setting out the role of starter capital accounts and incentivised learning as a basis for enhancing ability to achieve their potential in adult life.
11.05 am Stock for Data
The technological revolution provides an opportunity for a huge expansion of individual equity ownership by issuing stock in recognition of data storage and harvesting. This would enable a large proportion of people across the world to share in wealth creation, as automation gradually replaces the demand for manual input.
11.45 am Building Momentum
Charting the way forward through research, training, advocacy and implementation both within the UK and overseas.
12.20 pm Panel discussion
A general discussion of the above and other ideas.
