Collins believes that tackling income inequality means you spend a lot of time, like it or not, arranging income transfers through the central state. Harrop suggests we index state credits to earnings in future. Should tackling income inequality remain Labours central goal, and can this only be done through the central state? Can Labour forge a new identity for itself which does not have its heart the idea of spending easy money, as Collins implies?
