The outstanding moral problem of our time is the emergence of an
underclass, provoking both pity and an angry political backlash.
Robin Marris finds that a slowdown in growth is the root cause,
leading to a collapse of the labour market for unskilled men in
particular. Fashionable solutions such as lower wages or welfare
reform benefit those already well-off, and exacerbate growing
income inequality. He employs statistical, sociological and
psychological analysis and new developments in 'brain science' to
show how the creation of an open society with increased equality of
opportunity risks creating an unnecessarily excessive meritocracy.
The solution is restoring national and international priority to
the objective of growth. If this fails, damage limitation is
essential. We must learn to live with the welfare state.
