The Return of Inequality: Social Change and the Weight of the Past Savage Mike
A pioneering book that takes us beyond economic debate to show how inequality is returning us to a past dominated by empires, dynastic elites, and ethnic divisions.The economic facts of inequality are clear. More and more assets are concentrated in fewer and fewer hands. The rich have been pulling away from the rest of us for years, and the super-rich have been pulling away from the rich.
In The Return of Inequality, acclaimed sociologist Mike Savage pushes back, explaining inequality's profound deleterious effects on the shape of societies.Savage shows how economic inequality aggravates cultural, social, and political conflicts, challenging the coherence of liberal democratic nation-states. Mainstream economists say we need not worry; what matters is growth, not distribution. Put simply, severe inequality returns us to the past.
