Description
The great recession has left an enduring impact on society, with the 1% continuing to accumulate wealth while the majority face increasing hardship. This widening gap between rich and poor has severe consequences, affecting not only economic prospects but also life expectancy, education, and mental health. Inequality is a complex issue that goes beyond economics, as being born outside the 1% can significantly limit one's potential. Social thinker Danny Dorling examines the extent of this division in his book, laying bare the true cost of inequality on our society. He asks a crucial question: what have the superrich ever done for us? Dorling argues that inequality is the greatest threat we face and that urgent action is needed to redress the balance. His analysis sheds light on the need for radical change and provides a compelling case for addressing this pressing social issue.
