INJUSTICE:
Why social inequality persists
Daniel
Dorling
“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." Richard Wilkinson,
Emeritus Professor of Social Epidemiology and co-author of The Spirit Level
Dorling
claims in this timely book that in rich countries inequality is now caused by
unacknowledged beliefs which propagate it. Hard-hitting and uncompromising in
its call to action, this is essential reading for everyone concerned with
social justice.
