Description
Injustice: Why Social Inequality Still Persists by Daniel Dorling. The UK has seen a devastating increase in poverty and destitution over the past five years, while the richest 1% have never held a greater share of world wealth. This stark trend is mirrored globally, with the share of most people falling as debt rises, particularly among the young. The persistence of economic inequalities is deeply rooted in injustices that underpin them. Daniel Dorling's updated edition revisits his claim that five new tenets of injustice have replaced Beveridge's original social evils: elitism as efficient, exclusion as necessary, prejudice as natural, greed as good and despair as inevitable. By challenging these unfounded beliefs, Dorling offers hope for a more equal society. This book is essential reading for anyone concerned with social justice and wants to understand the root causes of inequality.
