Injustice: Why Social Inequality Persists - out now

Submitted by Kathryn Busby on 21 April 2010

Few would dispute that we live in an unequal and unjust world, but what causes this inequality to persist?

Leading social commentator and academic Danny Dorling claims in this timely book - Injustice: Why social inequality persists - that the five social evils identified by Beveridge are being replaced by five new tenets of injustice: elitism is efficient; exclusion is necessary; prejudice is natural; greed is good; and despair is inevitable.

In an informal yet authoritative style, Danny Dorling examines who is most harmed by these injustices and why, and what happens to those who most benefit. Hard-hitting and uncompromising in its call to action, this is essential reading for everyone concerned with social justice.

Injustice: Why social inequality persists by Danny Dorling is stocked by many independent booksellers. Find your local bookshop and buy a copy from them online The book is also available to buy from Amazon

"Beliefs which serve privilege, elitism and inequality, infect our minds like computer viruses. But now Dorling provides the brain-cleaning software we need to begin creating a happier society. "
