Description
The Killing Fields of Inequality by Göran Therborn explores how inequality affects human lives, not just in terms of economic wealth but also in terms of dignity, health and capabilities. This book reveals the devastating impact of inequality, with millions of premature deaths attributed to it, and shows that its effects are not limited to poor countries, but also affect rich nations. Therborn examines both the negative consequences of inequality, such as stunted lives due to humiliation and degradation, and moments of equalization in different parts of the world. The book highlights the challenges faced by South Africa and offers a hopeful message: that these killing fields can be avoided. With its clear and concise approach, this timely book provides valuable insights into a pressing global issue. By one of the world's leading social scientists, this book is an essential read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of inequality and its far-reaching consequences.
