Summary
Not Fair Enough offers a fresh perspective on the barriers to true equal opportunity in Canada. Challenging the conventional focus on labour market earnings, this book examines both sides of GDP – income from labour and income from capital – highlighting the critical role of inherited wealth in sustaining Canada’s financial aristocracy of great family fortunes. Through a compelling exploration of both upward and downward social mobility, the book reveals the hidden mechanisms that reinforce inherited privilege and the persistent barriers to change.
Challenging the myth of a meritocratic society, Not Fair Enough makes a compelling case for systemic reform – calling not only for expanded opportunities but also for a stronger social safety net to mitigate the realities of downward mobility. With a sharp focus on taxation of large inheritances, the vital role of unions, and the impact of progressive social policies, this book presents a powerful call to action for a fairer, more just economy. Engaging and thought-provoking, it is essential reading for anyone concerned about the future of economic equality in Canada.
