Inequality is widening. In the twenty-first century, the gap
between those who have more and those who have less is growing: 1
per cent of the world owns as much as the other 99 per cent. Should
we be worried? Christopher Steed, author of the acclaimed A
Question of Worth, argues that inequality does indeed matter: that
economic fairness is one of the defining issues of our time. In a
world conditioned by social media, enabling intensified social
comparison, the anxieties and effects of contemporary inequality
are a cause for huge concern. Despite a wealth of research around
inequality most studies have concentrated on its quantitative
aspects. In A Question of Inequality, Christopher Steed is
concerned with exploring why inequality matters, what it means for
those who find themselves victims of it, and what can be done about
it. He probes what it means to experience inequality, drawing out
case studies on the effects of poverty. In proposing a theory of
social relativity the author provides new insights into the effects
and meaning of inequality and makes an original and important
contribution to a key issue facing the world today.
