A major new report into the state of capitalism is due to be launched by George Osborne on Wednesday. Ahead of its release, a YouGov survey finds there is deep concern about the state of the economic system around the globe
According to a YouGov survey commissioned by the Legatum Institute think-tank, almost two thirds of Britons believe capitalism makes inequality worse, while three quarters think big business is corrupt and bad for the environment.
Such views are not limited to the UK, either. Across all seven nations included in the survey, substantial majorities agreed that the poor get poorer in capitalist economies.
Even in the US, the historic champion of capitalism over communism, 55 per cent of those asked agreed that the system was bad for equality.
