Media attention is often focused on the very richest, the 1%, and
their capacity to influence politics and shape society. But they
are not the only ones who drive politics, the public conversation
and much of the private sector. The focus of this book is on the
larger group between the 1% and the 10%. These are the managers and
professionals of our media, business, the third sector, political
parties and academia and are just as influential. However, many
would not recognise themselves as high earners at all. In fact,
earning around GBP60,000 a year in Britain places you in the top
10% of income earners. Maybe you're surprised you fall into this
category, or are not as far off as you thought. But despite this
group's relative advantage and comfort, these high earners don't
feel politically empowered. They worry about their income and are
anxious about the future. Most of them are more likely to move down
the income ladder than up it. Drawing attention to this powerful
section of society, this book explains why, even if you are
relatively near the top, it is in your interest that inequality is
reduced and you can help make that happen.
This book examines the intellectual and institutional
transformations of four British think tanks in the aftermath of the
2008 global financial crisis. In the context of a crisis of expert
authority, Gonzalez Hernando demonstrates how these organisations
modified their mode of public engagement to be seen as
authoritative as possible by an ever more mistrustful public.
British Think Tanks After the 2008 Global Financial Crisis connects
sociological thinking on knowledge with research on policy change
and the economic debate, through careful analysis of interviews,
public accounts, and the 'products' of think tanks themselves.
Gonzalez Hernando argues that demands for knowledge and advice that
arose after the crisis energised the work of all four think tanks
while also exposing internal tensions, affecting their sources of
funding, transforming their institutional structure, and shaping
how they engage with their audiences. It will appeal to students
and scholars of sociology of knowledge, political sociology, policy
studies, economic history, communication, political economy,
organisational sociology, and British politics
This edited collection critically engages with a range of
contemporary issues in the aftermath of the North Atlantic
financial crisis that began in 2007. From challenging the erosion
of academic authority to the myth that parliamentary democracy is
not worth engaging with, it addresses three interrelated questions
facing young people today: how to reclaim our universities, how to
revitalise our democracy and how to recast politics in the 21st
century. This book emphasises the crucial importance of
generational experience as a wellspring for progressive social
change. For it is the young generations who have come of age in a
world marred by crises that are at the forefront of challenging the
status quo. With insight into new social movements and protests in
the UK, Canada, Greece and Ukraine, this stimulating collection of
works will be invaluable for those teaching, studying and
campaigning for alternatives. It will also be of relevance to
scholars in social movement studies, the sociology and anthropology
of economic life, the sociology of education, social and political
theory, and political sociology.
