Since the great recession hit in 2008, the 1% has only grown richer while the rest find life increasingly tough. The gap between the haves and the have-nots has turned into a chasm. While the rich have found new ways of protecting their wealth, everyone else has suffered the penalties of austerity.

But inequality is more than just economics. Being born outside the 1% has a dramatic impact on a person's potential: reducing life expectancy, limiting education and work prospects, and even affecting mental health.

What is to be done? In Inequality and the 1% leading social thinker Danny Dorling lays bare the extent and true cost of the division in our society and asks what have the superrich ever done for us. He shows that inquality is the greatest threat we face and why we must urgently redress the balance.

Recenzijos

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, author of Life Lessons 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 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 A convincing picture of the epic insulation of the 1% -- Mary OHara, author of Austerity Bites In a remarkable feat of archival excavation, Bill Mullen and Christopher Vials have prepared a carefully compiled dossier to address fascism in the US in new and original ways. The result is a varied and vital collection - historically engaging and pressingly relevant - that tracks the arc of fascism and radical responses. The US Antifascism Reader brings the true stakes of this topic into focus.

It's a book I urge scholars and activists to obtain at once! -- Alan Wald, University of Michigan
