Produktinformationen zu „The Killing Fields of Inequality (PDF)“
Inequality is not just about the size of our wallets. It is a
socio-cultural order which, for most of us, reduces our
capabilities to function as human beings, our health, our dignity,
our sense of self, as well as our resources to act and participate
in the world. This book shows that inequality is literally a
killing field, with millions of people dying premature deaths
because of it. These lethal effects of inequality operate not only
in the poor world, but also, and increasingly, in rich countries,
as Therborn demonstrates with data ranging from the US, the UK,
Finland and elsewhere. Even when they survive inequality, millions
of human lives are stunted by the humiliations and degradations of
inequality linked to gender, race and ethnicity, and class.
But this book is about experiences of equalization too,
highlighting moments and processes of equalization in different
parts of the world - from India and other parts of Asia, from
the Americas, as well as from Europe. South Africa illustrates the
toughest challenges. The killing fields of inequality can be
avoided: this book shows how.
Clear, succinct, wide-ranging in scope and empirical in its
approach, this timely book by one of the world's leading
social scientists will appeal to a wide readership.
