REVISED EDITION NOW AVAILABLEFew would dispute that we live in an
unequal and unjust world, but what causes this inequality to
persist? Leading social commentator and academic Danny Dorling
claims in this timely book that in rich countries inequality is no
longer caused by not having enough resources to share, but by
unrecognised and unacknowledged beliefs which actually propagate
it. Based on significant research across a range of fields, in
Injustice Dorling argues that, as the five social evils identified
by Beveridge at the dawn of the British welfare state are gradually
being eradicated (ignorance, want, idleness, squalor and disease),
they are being replaced by five new tenets of injustice, that:
elitism is efficient; exclusion is necessary;prejudice is
natural;greed is good and despair is inevitable. In an informal yet
authoritative style, Dorling examines who is most harmed by these
injustices and why, and what happens to those who most benefit.
Hard-hitting and uncompromising in its call to action, this is
essential reading for everyone concerned with social justice.
