"A brilliantly clear and concise guide. Highly recommended." - Ben
Chu Economic inequality in the UK is currently at historically high
levels and the rise in income inequality over the last 30 years is
one of the largest across developed nations. But what caused this
sustained increase in inequality and what does it mean for modern
society in the UK? In this book, Economist Mike Brewer discusses
the causes and consequences of these high levels of economic
inequality, outlining why the UK became so unequal in the 1980s and
how this has developed further since the 2008 financial crash and
the austerity that followed. Brewer then presents new analysis of
the top 1% and 0.1%, before assessing the relevance of Thomas
Piketty's landmark work and predictions around wealth inequalities.
The author then outlines six key areas that need addressing to move
the UK off its high-inequality path and towards a fairer society,
including wealth redistribution, social mobility, and excessive pay
at the top. ABOUT THE SERIES: The 'What Do We Know and What Should
We Do About...?' series offers readers short, up-to-date overviews

modern society and the media. Each book is written by a leading

subject area. The Series Editor is Professor Chris Grey, Royal

Insect pests remain a major threat to crop production primarily
because of their ability to inflict severe damage on crop yields,
as well as their role as key vectors of disease. Early
identification of pests is critical to the success of integrated
pest management (IPM) programmes and essential for the development
of phytosanitary/quarantine regimes to prevent the introduction of
invasive insect pests to new environments. Advances in monitoring
of native and invasive insect pests of crops reviews the wealth of
research on techniques to monitor and thus prevent threats from
both native and invasive insect pests. The book considers recent
advances in areas such as sampling, identifying and modelling pest
populations. With its considered approach, the book explores
current best practices for the detection, identification and
modelling of native and invasive insect pests of crops. The
contributors offer farmers informed advice on how to mitigate a
growing problem which has been exacerbated as a result of climate
change.
