Inequality and the 1% Zusammenfassung

Inequality and the 1% Daniel Dorling

Inequality is more than just economics, it is the culture that divides and makes social mobility almost impossible. Leading geographer Danny Dorling goes in pursuit of the latest research into how the lives and ideas of the 1% impact on the remaining 99%; and the findings are shocking. Inequality in the UK is increasing; more and more people are driven towards the poverty line. Even before birth, being born outside the 1% will have dramatic impact on the rest of your life: it will reduce your life expectancy, educational and work prospects, as well as your mental health. In this book, filled with illustrations and infographics that bring the facts to life, Dorling convincingly proves that the cost of the super rich is just too high for us.

Inequality and the 1% Bewertungen

"An incredibly thoughtful book. With wit, expertise and a necessary anger, Danny Dorling makes the case for a 'slow revolution' against the concentrated wealth of the top 1%, who threaten our national and global well-being. Read him. Enjoy him. Join him." --Melissa Benn, writer and campaigner"A convincing picture of the epic insulation of the 1%." --Mary O'Hara, author of "Austerity Bites""A clear and readable account of the damage wrought by extreme inequality. This is a powerful book." --Kate E. Pickett, co-author of The "Spirit Level""Dorling asks questions about inequality that fast become unswervable: can we afford the superrich? Can society prosper? Can we realize our potential?" --Zoe Williams, "Guardian" "Takes an empirical look at how lives of the richest damage the rest of society." - Melissa Benn, Books of the Year, New Statesman
