Originally published in 1980, this book presents a detailed
empirical analysis of the key dimensions of inequality and poverty
in Wales, discussing such aspects as the distribution of income and
wealth, the housing situation, the functioning of the NHS and urban
deprivation. Wales emerges as a country severely disadvantaged in
relation to much of the rest of Britain. Moreover, the extent of
inequalities within Wales is also striking. In the second part of
the book each contributor applies a particular theoretical
perspective to an aspect of the situation discussed in the first
part. The perspectives adopted are diverse, ranging from
Keynesianism, through dual labour markets to dependency theory and
Marxist analysis. Each essay emphasises the importance of locating
our understanding of poverty and social inequality in the context
of the patterns of economic development in Wales and in the
functioning of the State apparatus.
