The economic crisis has brought social differences to the fore,
reinventing the old question of inequality as democracy's missed
opportunity. Many have attempted to find a rational explanation of
the problem, tracing it back to poor economic policy and reckless
liberalisation of finance, or the crisis of banks and governments,
as well as the collapse of family relationships. At the same time,
globalisation has reduced the differences between some nations,
bringing emerging countries to the level of the more advanced, but
has dangerously increased internal inequalities. In this book, the
author examines the question of inequality and the social problems
it is creating in societies across the world, arguing that with the
crisis of modernity, the ideal of equality appears to be over. As
more and more of the world's resources are concentrated in ever
fewer hands, the promise of mass society as a means to grant
equality and cancel the differences of classes appears to be giving
way to a rising individualism. This book asks whether the apparent
end of mass society will coincide with the end of equality and a
re-evaluation of the worth of the individual. Are we heading
towards a liquid world in which being equal is now considered less
a virtue than a weakness?
