The case for contribution

This report from UK think tank Labour Together looks at the ethics and expectation of contribution.

This essay, by Labour Together’s chief policy adviser, Morgan Wild, argues that this Labour government should root itself in an ethic and expectation of contribution: the actions we take that make other people better off. This can be work, care, volunteering, paying taxes or helping out in your community. These are the basis of reciprocity and solidarity. Actions we take for others, in the anticipation that they will take them for us. The foreword is written by Alan Milbun, Former Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, and Matthew Upton, executive director at Labour Together.
