Explore the thought-provoking book, 'Do We Need Economic Inequality?' by Danny Dorling, a critical examination of economic disparities that challenges prevailing norms. This insightful work delves into the historical and contemporary views on economic inequality, urging readers to reconsider the widespread belief that it is a necessity. With an ISBN of 9781509516551, the book is published by John Wiley & Sons and features 140 pages of compelling arguments that analyze the essential question: is economic inequality truly an inevitability?

Dorling raises important questions about our socio-economic future, positing that current high levels of inequality may merely be a transitional phase rather than a permanent state. Drawing upon historical trends, he examines how changing demographics, evolving gender relations, and increased access to education can lead to a more equitable society, challenging the dystopian forecasts of a stark divide between the rich and the poor.

This essential reading for anyone concerned with economic and social issues encourages a debate on the future of wealth distribution. As we consider our political destiny, Dorling’s ideas present a more hopeful outlook—one where economic equality can be achieved. Don't miss the opportunity to explore these pivotal concepts in this brand new edition from 2017.

Description:


Although economic inequality provokes widespread disquiet, its supposed necessity is rarely questioned. At best, a basic level of inequality is seen as a necessary evil. At worst, it is seen as insufficient to encourage aspiration, hard work and investment “ a refrain sometimes used to advocate ever greater inequality.


In this original new book, Danny Dorling critically analyses historical trends and contemporary assumptions in order to question the idea that inequality is an inevitability. What if, he asks, widespread economic inequality is actually just a passing phase, a feature of the capitalist transition from a settled rural way of life to our next highly urban steady-state? Is it really likely that we face a Blade Runner-style dystopian future divided between a tiny elite and an impoverished mass?


Dorling shows how, amongst much else, a stabilizing population, changing gender relations and rising access to education make a more egalitarian alternative to this nightmare vision not only preferable, but realistic. This bold contribution to one of the most significant debates of our time will be essential reading for anyone interested in our economic, social and political destiny.

Good option, especially in warmer weather
Size: 6-10, Color: Black
High quality socks and very durable. Nice touch adding the grip on the back of the ankle so the sock stays up. Size is a true fit to the size of your foot as well.

Love these socks!
Size: 6-10, Color: White
Comfortable, no show, and most importantly The Do No Slip!!!! I keep coming back to add to my supply because they have become the only sock I wear. I’ve been using them for a couple years now and they hold to great to washing, bleaching and the dryer. Highly recommended.

The only socks I will buy
Size: 6-10, Color: Halo Gray/Assorted
These are hands down my favorite socks to wear with tennis shoes. Bought my original 6 pack in the store, liked them so much I went buy more and they were gone. These don't slip on your heel like most socks do. Come up high enough on the top of your foot to protect from tongue rubbing (I giggled when I wrote that) and they come in fun colors. Love they are ultra no show and provide padding but people can't see them with shoes on. Five stars!
