The distribution of wealth in Britain is based largely on a system of slavery that has close parallels with the system of slavery that previously existed in the sugar plantations of the Caribbean. The current method of control for allowing a small percentage of the population to extract wealth from Britain's slaves does not depend on the direct ownership of people, but on the ownership of the thing that everybody's lives depend on - land.With the assistance of four groups of overpaid accomplices, the landowners extract wealth from the slaves. The landowners and their accomplices consequently become abnormally rich, and the slaves become abnormally poor. There is a degree of meritocracy in the British slavery system, but it is embedded as a component within a wider system of slavery that few realize exists. The system of slavery and its resultant skewed distribution of wealth distorts every aspect of life in the UK, causing much conflict and discontent.The only solution to these problems is to abolish the method of control, namely the freehold ownership of land by a minority. This book proposes that instead of the freehold system of land we have now, we should institute a system of rental contracts for the use of land. The income from the rent of land would replace the government's income from the massively over-complex current tax system. Wages would become genuinely merit-based. There would be a much fairer distribution of wealth, and society would become more harmonious.
