Product Information
In the five years since the first edition of Injustice there have been devastating increases in poverty, hunger, and destitution in the United Kingdom. Globally, the richest 1% have never held a greater share of world wealth, while the share of most of the other 99% has fallen in the last five years, with more and more people in debt, especially the young. Economic inequalities will persist and continue to grow for as long as we tolerate the injustices which underpin them. This fully rewritten and updated edition revisits Dorling's claim that Beveridge's five social evils are being replaced by five new tenets of injustice: elitism is efficient; exclusion is necessary; prejudice is natural; greed is good; and despair is inevitable. By showing these beliefs are unfounded, Dorling offers hope of a more equal society. We are living in the most remarkable and dangerous times. With every year that passes it is more evident that Injustice is essential reading for anyone who is concerned with social justice and wants to do something about it.

Reviews
In this new edition of his seminal Injustice , Dorling's unique combination of moral passion and analytical rigor made my heart sing., This updated edition of Dorling's book will remind us--if we needed reminding--that injustice has not gone away, and that in many ways it is getting worse; that there are things that we can do about it; and that we need to do those things., Dorling's analysis is quietly, devastatingly persuasive. Once you've read him you have to reassess how you live. That's an amazing gift., Intelligent and astute, this well-woven book--reissued this year in a fully revised edition--offers a powerful critique of the ideologies of greed that stitch up society. Without a hint of surrender to the status quo, Dorling radiates humanity, passion and concern across every page. His words are weapons, inspiring me to take action and reminding us of the power of the collective to defeat inequality and exploitation., Rich insights into how prejudice, presumption, and a paucity of regard for our fellow human beings reinforce poverty as well as privilege., The original edition of Injustice stands out as a masterpiece, not only in the production of razor-sharp arguments, but also in its collation of extensive supporting evidence. This updated edition is perhaps even more important today., An eloquent indictment of the status quo, but so much more. By systematically dismantling the ideological props of the current economic and social order, Dorling forces us to think how things could be done differently., The pragmatism of the book, without advocating any grand interpretative theory, also constitutes its cogency: it gives us the feeling that we can start to do something from our very everyday practices, workplaces, and neighbourhoods. The solution can already be right here, right now, since, as Dorling reminds us, the world is constantly 'metamorphosing.', Powerful sentences and carefully-curated evidence frame critically-important thoughts on how we got here and how things could be different., Dorling's text is an invaluable reference that anybody and everybody concerned with inequality, social (in)justice, and the underside to the world in which we live ought have on their bookshelf., Dorling . . . demolishes the five tenets that sustain and justify the persistence of social inequality., [Dorling provides] valuable ammunition for attacking the ideas of our rulers and his book deserves a wide readership., This invaluable book is more than an essential resource in the defense of our ebbing welfare state. It is a thoughtful and carefully argued source of stimulation towards its reinvention., A brilliant analysis. . . A 'must read' for anyone who wants to understand inequality and how we might tackle it., In this impassioned, empirical, and hopeful second edition, powerfully updated with new data, Dorling skewers the ideologies that justify injustice. He reminds us that to create a better world we have to collectively imagine it is possible., Dorling has given us a guide through the dark, twisted, and changing forest of injustice. A must-read for anyone fighting for justice., An excellent, sharp, and at times poignant analysis of the political, social, and economic situation that capitalism as a social system is in today., A century ago, amid the struggle for social insurance to protect workers injured on the job, men of wealth and power argued that workers insured against disability would cut off their own limbs to reap the rewards disability protection would provide. Today's rich and their hired hands seldom get that crude. They spin much more sophisticated myths. In Injustice , Dorling examines--and exposes--them all. Sometimes with figures and charts. Sometimes with history. Sometimes with unrelenting logic., Think twice before reading this book--you may well become an activist against social injustice, inequality, and the exploitation of labour. Dorling gives us words that are weapons., A powerful and entertaining read, which sets forth a bold, innovative thesis about contemporary inequality., [An] excellent compendium. . . . Unassailable. . . . Dorling is one of the great researchers on the condition of the time., For decades researchers have shown the damage inequality does to all society and Dorling's wonderful book extends this. With brilliance and passion Dorling analyzes the mindset of entitlement among those who hold ever tighter to money, power, and life's best rewards, generation to generation., Dorling's unsettling account makes it clear that inequity and inequality are less about 'ideology' and more about the self-serving interests of the powerful. His book is a passionate call for change., An excellent, sharp, and at times poignant analysis of the political, social, and economic situation that capitalism as a social system is in today.
