- push for a Land Value Tax and other related charges for use of commons (e.g. Resource extraction, the radio spectrum etc). Try and use this to lower (but broaden) VAT, and to completely replace all other taxes pertaining to property.
- push for a multilateral treaty to impose some form of wealth tax and a FTT amongst the major economies that would automatically kick in when every country ratifies.
- impose a negative income tax to be paid for all those working under a living wage plus those in education or training. Have an upper 50 percent band on high incomes
- nationalise railways, and place buses under local control.
- break up energy firms, and try to encourage as much energy as possible (being produced and with advances in technology, stored) at a micro-level by local communities and organisations. Mandate that all large renewable projects be half-owned by local communities. Institute a carbon tax that will steadily rise.
- use tax incentives to encourage and coerce companies to become cooperative in nature. At a minimum all large and medium companies should have co-determined boardrooms. Tax excessive bonuses, ban golden parachutes and the like, make all executive pay subject to employee scrutiny and veto. Perhaps push for Sweden's old law designed to force companies to distribute ownership to their employees.
- cut down on managers and the like in the NHS. stop underfunding the Service to an austere degree not seen in another country.
- allow free schools, academies etc to a certain degree, but ban private school fees.
- create a nationalised infrastructure bank(s) dedicated to ensuring public investment is maintained in all conditions. Their first duties would be a national building/rebuilding scheme of social infrastructure.
- push for a national plan to eliminate child poverty.
