她似乎并未意识到，自己更倾向于一个监管较少、公共支出、税收和国家债务更低的资本主义市场经济，并辅以“严爱式”福利政策，这种主张本身正是对几个世纪以来反复出现的观点的回归。
Photograph: Getty Letters The Conservatives’ ‘better tomorrow’ only includes rich people Terry Peach responds to Kemi Badenoch’s conference speech, while Penelope Turton writes on her promise to cut inheritance tax Kemi Badenoch’s conference speech rehearsed the argument that Andy Burnham’s economic policies were warped by his “nostalgia” for the 1970s, unlike her own forward-looking programme for “a better tomorrow” ( Tories accused of prioritising rich voters as Badenoch lays out inheritance tax cut plan, 7 October She appears not to see that her preference for a lesser-regulated capitalist market economy, with lower public expenditure, taxes and national debt, coupled with “tough love” welfare policies, is itself harking back to arguments that have circulated for centuries.
诚然，她的立场并不像19世纪初著名政治经济学家大卫·李嘉图所主张的那么极端。李嘉图认为，如果彻底消除国家债务这一“恶疾”，并实行一个贸易“完全自由”、税收降至最低限度的制度，英国将幸福而繁荣。
Admittedly, her position is not as extreme as the one espoused at the beginning of the 19th century by the leading political economist David Ricardo, who argued that Great Britain would be happy and prosperous if the “evil” of the national debt was extinguished completely, and the country embraced a system in which trade is left “perfectly free” and taxation reduced to a bare minimum.
他提出的“严爱式”方案是废除《济贫法》，因为该法鼓励工人阶级过度生育，从而压低由市场决定的工资水平。
His own “tough love” proposal was to scrap the Poor Laws, as they encouraged overbreeding by the working class, thereby depressing market-determined wages.
凯米·巴登诺奇表示：“努力工作和储蓄的人应当因此获得回报”，并将遗产税（IHT）视为对已为收入缴税的人的不公平双重征税。事实上，遗产税的大部分收入来自继承和资产衍生的财富，这些财富通过未获劳动回报的资本增值不断积累，且在其所有者生前并未被征税。
Chester Kemi Badenoch says “people who work hard and save should be rewarded for that effort” and regards inheritance tax (IHT) as unfair double taxation on people who have already paid tax on their earnings. In fact, most IHT revenue is driven by inherited and asset-derived wealth, which expands through unearned capital appreciation and is untaxed during a person’s lifetime.
巴德诺克（Badenoch）曾在其他场合称 IHT 公司的行为是不道德的。真正的受害者，其实是那些收入微薄、工作辛苦的人们——他们必须在取暖和吃饭之间做出选择；对他们来说，一辈子积累足够的财富以便留给子女，简直是一个遥不可及的梦想。伦敦
Badenoch has elsewhere called IHT immoral The real moral injury is borne by all those low-paid, hard-working people who face a choice between heating or eating, and for whom acquiring sufficient wealth in a lifetime to leave money to their children is an unimaginable dream. London
