The gap between the haves and the have-nots has turned into a chasm. While the rich have found new ways of protecting their wealth, everyone else has suffered the penalties of austerity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut inequality is more than just economics. Being born outside the 1% has a dramatic impact on a person's potential: reducing life expectancy, limiting education and work prospects, and even affecting mental health.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat is to be done? In \u003ci\u003eInequality and the 1%\u003c\/i\u003e leading social thinker Danny Dorling lays bare the extent and true cost of the division in our society and asks what have the superrich ever done for us. He shows that inquality is the greatest threat we face and why we must urgently redress the balance.\u003cp\u003e“An incredibly thoughtful book. With  wit, expertise and a necessary anger, Danny Dorling makes the case for a ‘slow revolution’ against the concentrated wealth of the top 1%, who  threaten our national and global well-being.
