Exactly! 👏👏 Regulators ensure we have responsible growth that doesn't come at the cost of social and enviro protection. They shouldn't be pressured into a 'growth-at-all-costs' strategy. Our forthcoming report with @fairness.bsky.social sets out what an Inclusive Growth Duty could look like.

Useful analysis by @simonpittaway.bsky.social and @tom-clark.bsky.social at @resfoundation.bsky.social on how flattish levels of relative wealth inequality disguise a) a growing wealth gap in absolute terms and b) its many negative impacts (for more on which, see fairnessfoundation.com/risks).
