Inequality and the 1% by Danny Dorling
Since the Great Recession hit in 2008, the 1% has only grown richer while the rest find life increasingly tough. The gap between the haves and the have-nots has turned into a chasm. While the rich have found new ways of protecting their wealth, everyone else has suffered the penalties of austerity. But inequality is more than just economics. Being born outside the 1% has a dramatic impact on a person's potential: reducing life expectancy, limiting educational and work prospects, and even affecting mental health. What is to be done? In Inequality and the 1% leading social thinker Danny Dorling lays bare the extent and true cost of the division in our society and asks what have the super-rich ever done for us? He shows that it is the 1% that threatens us with the most harm and why we must urgently redress the balance
An incredibly thoughtful bookWith wit, expertise and a necessary anger, Danny Dorling makes the case for a 'slow revolution' against the concentrated wealth of the top 1%, who threaten our national and global well-being. Read him. Enjoy him. Join him. -- Melissa Benn, author of Life Lessons
Dorling asks questions about inequality that fast become unswervable: can we afford the superrich? Can society prosper? Can we realize our potential? -- Zoe Williams, Guardian
A clear and readable account of the damage wrought by extreme inequality. This is a powerful book. -- Kate E. Pickett, co-author of The Spirit Level
A convincing picture of the epic insulation of the 1% -- Mary O’Hara, author of Austerity Bites
In a remarkable feat of archival excavation, Bill Mullen and Christopher Vials have prepared a carefully compiled dossier to address fascism in the US in new and original ways. The result is a varied and vital collection - historically engaging and pressingly relevant - that tracks the arc of fascism and radical responses. The US Antifascism Reader brings the true stakes of this topic into focus.
It's a book I urge scholars and activists to obtain at once! -- Alan Wald, University of Michigan
