New edition of Pay Check now available

  • Why high pay must be confronted if popular faith in the system is to be restored.
  • Why the current mantra attacking “rewards for failure” is misguided; individuals should not even be rewarded for corporate success.
  • Why taxation, regulation and other forms of state intervention will be successfully sidestepped.
  • Why only the successful dismantling of the talent myth will bring pay to more rational levels; progress is being made here – there is clear evidence that top earners and their allies are losing confidence in their hollow justifications.
