FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In the five years since the first edition of Injustice there have been devastating increases in poverty, hunger and destitution in the UK. Globally, the richest 1% have never held a greater share of world wealth, while the share of most of the other 99% has fallen in the last five years, with more and more people in debt, especially the young. Economic inequalities will persist and continue to grow for as long as we tolerate the injustices which underpin them.This fully rewritten and updated edition revisits Dorlings claim that Beveridges five social evils are being replaced by five new tenets of injustice: elitism is efficient; exclusion is necessary; prejudice is natural; greed is good and despair is inevitable. By showing these beliefs are unfounded, Dorling offers hope of a more equal society. We are living in the most remarkable and dangerous times. With every year that passes it is more evident that Injustice is essential reading for anyone concerned with social justice and wants to do something about it. Notes In an informal and yet authoritative style, Prof Dorling examines why social inequality still persists, examines who is most harmed by current injustices and what happens to those who most benefit. Hard-hitting and uncompromising in its call to action, this is essential reading for anyone concerned with social justice.

His book is a passionate call for change." Dr Aniko Horvath, Kings College London. "This invaluable book is more than an essential resource in the defence of our ebbing welfare state. It is a thoughtful and carefully-argued source of stimulation towards its re-invention." Paul Gilroy, Kings College London."The original edition of Injustice: Why Social Inequality Persists stands out as a masterpiece, not only in the production of razor-sharp arguments, but also in its collation of extensive supporting evidence. This updated edition is perhaps even more important today." Henry Parkyn-Smith, Counterfire Long Description In the five years since the first edition of Injustice there have been devastating increases in poverty and inequality in the UK.
