Short Changed
Short Changed is the Intergenerational Foundation's new podcast series, where we speak to some of the UK’s leading experts about the issues that matter most to younger and future generations.
Across the series, we explore the policy challenges shaping young people’s lives today and the prospects of future generations tomorrow, from housing and democracy to taxation, student finance, and inheritance.
Short Changed builds on our previous podcast series, WhatIF?, which put young people’s voices at the centre of the policy debate.

Should young people pay less tax? With Dr Julian Limberg
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Nothing can be certain, except death and taxes. But our tax system can also shape inequality and increase gaps between generations.
Conor sits down to talk with Dr Julian Limberg, Senior Lecturer in Public Policy at King's College London, about how our system rewards wealth rather than work, how to change our system to make it fairer for younger generations, and whether a wealth tax would really work.
