Do we need economic inequality?

Dorling, Danny2018
Books, Manuscripts
Although economic inequality provokes widespread disquiet, its supposed necessity is rarely questioned. At best, a basic level of inequality is seen as a necessary evil. At worst, it is seen as insufficient to encourage aspiration, hard work and investment, a refrain sometimes used to advocate ever greater inequality. Danny Dorling critically analyses historical trends and contemporary assumptions in order to question the idea that inequality is an inevitability.
