A long way from the end of Capitalism but maybe a shift is in the air when the FT is promoting wealth tax and UBI in an editorial:

Radical reforms — reversing the prevailing policy direction of the last four decades — will need to be put on the table. Governments will have to accept a more active role in the economy. They must see public services as investments rather than liabilities, and look for ways to make labour markets less insecure. Redistribution will again be on the agenda; the privileges of the elderly and wealthy in question. Policies until recently considered eccentric, such as basic income and wealth taxes, will have to be in the mix.

Is there any chance someone with an FT subscription could send this to me please? From all the screenshots I've seen it now looks as though the FT is to the left of the Labour party's last manifesto..
