Few would dispute that we live in an unequal and unjust world, but what causes this inequality to persist? In this timely book, leading British social commentator and academic Danny Dorling claims that in rich countries social inequality is no longer caused by not having enough resources to share, but by unrecognized and unacknowledged beliefs which actually propagate it. Injustice is hard-hitting and uncompromising in its call to action. It is essential reading for everyone concerned with social justice. The book argues that the five social evils identified by Beveridge at the dawn of the British welfare state are being replaced by elitism, exclusion, prejudice, greed, and despair. Written in an accessible style and based on significant research across a range of academic fields, Injustice examines who is most harmed by these injustices, why, and, most importantly, what happens to those who most benefit.
