Peak Inequality: Britain's Ticking Time Bomb

Danny Dorling

Inequality is the key political issue of our time. Danny Dorling wrote his seminal work Injustice: Why social inequality persists in 2010, and as an early proponent of rapidly reducing economic inequalities, he is now much sought-after as one of the foremost contributors to the debates surrounding it.

Here Dorling brings together brand new material alongside a carefully curated selection of his most recent writing on inequality from publications as wide ranging as the Daily Telegraph, the Guardian, New Statesman, Financial Times and the China People's Daily.

Covering key inequality issues including politics, housing, education and health, he explores whether we have now reached 'peak inequality'. He concludes, crucially, by predicting what the future holds for Britain, as attempts are made to defuse the ticking time bomb while we simultaneously try to negotiate Brexit and react to the wider international situation of a world of people demanding to become more equal.

Praise for this book

"Peak Inequality...is filled with valuable political ammunition... the cumulative effect of his hugely impressive statistical dissections of contemporary British society is to make a compelling case for a political challenge to centuries of exploitation by the British elite..." Counterfire
"... hopeful and imaginative, sometimes polemical, and full of engaging facts. If you've been labouring under the impression that The Spirit Level is the beginning and end of the debate on inequality, this will be a useful corrective." Jeremy Williams (Make Wealth History)
