It’s widely agreed that inequality has become the key political issue of our time. In Peak Inequality, Danny Dorling—an early proponent of rapidly reducing economic inequalities—brings together brand new material alongside a selection of his most recent writing from publications including the Daily Telegraph, the Guardian, and the Financial Times. Addressing key issues like housing, education, and health care, he ultimately asks a crucial question: Have we reached peak inequality?
?
Dorling concludes by looking to the future. How, he asks, will the UK address the problems created and exacerbated by inequality—especially as it simultaneously tries to negotiate Brexit and react to the wider international situation of a world where people demand a more equal economic and social landscape? Peak Inequality is an informed first step toward answering that question.
 

Recenzijas

Peak Inequalityis filled with valuable political ammunition the cumulative effect of his hugely impressive statistical dissections of contemporary British society is to make a compelling case for a political challenge to centuries of exploitation by the British elite Counterfire hopeful and imaginative, sometimes polemical, and full of engaging facts. If youve been labouring under the impression that The Spirit Level is the beginning and end of the debate on inequality, this will be a useful corrective. Jeremy Williams (Make Wealth History) "The full consequences of eight years of cruel and counter-productive Tory austerity are devastating. There were more than 10,000 extra deaths during the first seven weeks of this year, official figures show, compared with the same period in the previous five years. Thats a 12% increase. Professor Danny Dorling and Lucinda Hiam, who carried out the research, strongly implied that the extra deaths were, in part, the result of sustained underfunding to health and social care. Jeremy Corbyn, 3rd May 2018 commenting on one of the hundreds of new research findings revealed in the research that underlies this book: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/tory-austerity-almost-certainly-increa sed-12468792) "Graphically illuminates why and how place grounds social polarization in politics, housing, education, health, and social welfare and offers steps towards a fairer world." Nancy Krieger, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health "If you have an ounce of compassion - or self-interest - in your heart, Peak inequality is a must-read wake-up call" Val McDermid, author "An all you need to know guide to inequality in the UK today" Faiza Shaheen, Director of Class "This is the essential book about a great affliction of our times. It will become the touchstone in this debate." George Monbiot
