Inequality in Britain by Alan Ware
This book provides a thorough and engaging analysis of inequality in Britain, including its long-term development and transformation since the beginning of the 20th century. The author argues that inequality is not what it used to be - no longer can policy makers consider it just in terms of status, wealth and income.-

"Alan Ware’s account emphasises how positional competition drives inequality, with adverse effects not only on social welfare but also on venerable institutions, especially educationThis sparkling and original contribution highlights the political implications of the changing relationship between money, class and status in contemporary Britain."
Deborah Mabbett, Birkbeck, University of London, UK.
"Inequality in Britain is an essential guide to understanding what there is to know about inequality in Britain. Alan Ware draws together the lessons of disparate fields into a comprehensive analysis of the interactions between multiple sources of inequality, demonstrating the fundamental relationships between class, gender and ethnicity. He seamlessly draws together historical perspectives and data driven economic accounts into a book that is both highly informative and a damn good read. An absolute must for the bookshelves of anyone who is concerned about who we are and what we might become."
Rosie Campbell, King’s College London, UK.
"What this book promises is a sketch map of how different aspects of inequality fit together. It achieves that aim admirably. But it does so much more. It shows how the development of inequality is driven by positional competition, relative deprivation and the cumulative effects of social and policy developments over time. Its concluding message - that creative political leadership is essential for an adequate set of policy responses – is both sober and ambitious. A tour de force."
Albert Weale, University College London, UK.
