Description
The Asset Economy by Lisa Adkins, Melinda Cooper and Martijn Konings explores the economic shifts that have driven social transformations in Anglo-capitalist societies. A new logic of inequality has emerged, with asset ownership overshadowing employment as a determinant of class position. Over several decades, property inflation has led to a growing disconnect between popular expectations and institutional priorities. The book examines the impact of generational dynamics on this new class landscape, including the growth of wealth inequalities and precarity, urban property inflation, changes in fiscal and monetary policy, and the predicament of the "millennial" generation. This timely analysis advances an original perspective on a range of phenomena that are widely debated but poorly understood.
